Across the country, from the presidential race, to the U.S. Senate and House, to state legislative races, one thing was missing this year: ads proudly proclaiming candidates' anti-gun credentials.
The gun control lobby must be distressed that many Democratic gains occurred only because the Democrat party has run so far from the gun control issue. While they fondly look back to how actively Bill Clinton campaigned for gun control in 1992 and 1996, they also remember the lesson that gun owners taught an anti-gun Congress in 1994, Al Gore in 2000, and John Kerry in 2004. This was a lesson taught by the roughly five million members of our National Rifle Association that has changed the politics of our issue across the country.
Just wait until the Gun Grabbers meet some of the Freshman Democrats in Congress, people like Democrat Travis Childers, and a passionate Life Member of our NRA. Indeed, about sixty Democrat members of the House are also members of our NRA and looking forward to adding gun ownership freedoms for peaceful American citizens and raising the penalty for crimes committed while possessing a gun.
Might the Democrat Party finally decoded the message Americans across the political spectrum have repeatedly sent them? LOL, time will tell, and in the meantime we are preparing for a fight that may never arrive!
