Lawyers, guns and money
Lawyers contribute primarily to candidates who vote against gun rights. Most of this money ends up in the pockets of Democrats, who exhibit a heavy bias against gun rights. Interestingly enough, the Democrat party is the one that claims to represent the little guy, while a special interest group comprised of economically-elite professionals encourages Democrats to pass more laws limiting the right of self-defense for people who cannot afford private security guards. It’s time for those who believe in traditional Democrat values to take a closer look at their party.

Thanks for the link–which I am about to break.
I had a typo in the title which is used in one of the ways you can link to my posts. Better is to use the thislink. And if you use the trackback link (on the bottom of the post) you will get a link back to your post.
Sorry for breaking your link.

Some corrections.
Not all lawyers are antigun. I say that they are no different than the population at large. Some are very pro-gun. I am going to become a lawyer soon, and I am definitely pro gun.
Not all lawyers are trial lawyers.
If lawyers that give politically give mostly to democrats, then any issue upon which democrats vote entirely for one side will correlate strongly with the giving patterns of lawyers. This doesnt mean causation though.
Also, Lawful Commerce in Arms killed off the gun lawsuits.

BS, I agree that not all lawyers are anti-gun; however, anti-gunners do appear to be over-represented in this profession. Most of the conservative lawyers I knew in Cali were on the right side of the issue in principle, but few were particularly interested in guns.
