Lmao, what is it with online leftists thinking gun control is unpopular? If the Dems went pro gun, they'd lose more voters than they'd gain. Guaranteed.

Those "rural moderates" don't exist. I live in a rural area. They're all maga knob washers who are too scared or manipulative to own it. All of them. We get pro-gun Democrat candidates all the time and the "rural moderates" never vote for them. They're liars. They invent new excuses to vote for the GOP.

Your ideas are not new and they don't work.

Give people things that have a direct impact on their wallet. That's how you win elections in this country. No one actually cares about government waste, it's a dog whistle for shitting on poor people and minorities.
