Democrats and guns
“There has been a recognition nationally that the party’s stance on gun control was polarizing and it was damaging the ability of the Democratic party to exercise leadership on things like health care, education and the environment,” the governor said.
“The leadership at national level decided they were no longer going to make gun control a major position embraced by the national party,” he said. “But there are individuals who continue to push such an agenda.”

Very correct that this has been an Achilles Heel of the Democratic Party for a long time. Thank goodness for pro-RKBA Democrats like Senator Jack Webb (D-VA), et. al.
