Please, Diane Feinstein is hardly a mainstream, or representative
member of the Democratic party. She is a strident hack, who would
not be in her position if she had to run most anywhere else.

I do not think that all or most Democrats are against
gun ownership. For one thing, I have alot of friends
who have guns, who are also Democrats. I don't really
want to endlessly argue who loves their "stash o' weapons"
more, just know that not all Dems are anti-gun, and probably
most would be happy to let things be as they are.

Any time one of my friends who is not necessarily pro-gun
ownership has a question about my position, I like
to ask two questions.

1) Do you trust the current administration?

2) Do you think they should be the only ones to have guns?

If you can't answer yes to the first, how can you to the
second?
