Comments on: And The Gun Owner Was Racist http://www.snowflakesinhell.com/2008/11/10/and-the-gun-owner-was-racist/ Firearms Policy and Politics in Pennsylvania Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:05:49 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: rightwingprof http://www.snowflakesinhell.com/2008/11/10/and-the-gun-owner-was-racist/#comment-33197 rightwingprof Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:24:53 +0000 http://www.snowflakesinhell.com/?p=6499#comment-33197 That's also the reason it took a year to get the medical center down the road built, and 2/3 of the times you drive through a construction area on the highway in the middle of the week, nobody is there working. Sign me on this one "Wished I hadn't moved away from a right-to-work state." And we do have pro-gun Democrats here. They're the only ones who get elected. Indiana, too.

We have two pro-gun federal reps in those areas. Southwestern PA is represented by Murtha, who, despite his stance on other issues, is good on guns. Same with Paul Kanjorski up in the north. The problem with developing pro-gun Democrats is you have to have an electorate that's willing to vote the gun issue. A lot of the guys around here do, and vote Republican, but there are a comfortable enough number of gun owners who will vote Democrats no matter how bad the Democrat is on guns. That's the problem. They've also never had to suffer the consequences of it, because the rest of the state has, largely, saved them from their own bad decisions. We'd be in a lot of trouble if Democrats in the rest of Pennsylvania were as bad on guns as they are in the Southeast. JR:
