Back by Popular Demand!

AP-GfK Poll: Support grows among Americans for stricter gun laws [More]
Plus they interviewed a Haitian, a guy from St. Louis and, for "balance," a cud-chewer who "believes the Second Amendment gives Americans the right to protect themselves against the government, but not necessarily the right to possess any firearm they choose, especially when it comes to AR-platform long guns. Those types of firearms, she said, “just are not necessary. Nobody is using them to hunt deer.'”

I'm sold! No contradictions, cow-brained ignorance, or reader manipulation there.

Pretty Selective Gun 'Facts' There, Guy

[More]
OK, wishful thinking aside, you base the bulk of your work on numbers, and you're making this election recommendation, so it's up to you to flesh out probable outcomes. Because I'm serious about gun rights, and I think heeding your advice here would be catastrophic.

And the president has power to "roll back" laws?  Or do we now also need a libertarian majority in Congress? Odds on that happening?

Then there's the matter of the LP open borders position. It's on you to provide sourced numbers -- not platitudes, not anecdotes, not your opinion and not your feelings -- that refute all credible polling and the California experience, and show how that will not result in an overwhelming anti-gun Democrat majority with predictable results for legislation and court decisions.
