Ah remember the good old days when Democrats put their true agenda right up front where guns were concerned? They did not pull any punches or fudge their opinions at all. They did not believe in the right of Americans to own guns and they gladly said it. A Democrat seeking public office was sure to put their Liberal views of guns and the Second Amendment front and center.
The Democratic Party was all too happy to put their anti-gun ideology at the very front of all their campaigns. They might as well have worn flashing signs on themselves that read " If you hate guns and people who own them WE are your party".
Nowadays though all that has changed. Today finding any Democrat who will even touch the subject of gun ownership with a hint of their true feelings is tougher than finding honesty in a Michael Moore film.
So why have Democrats largely stopped talking about gun control? Could it be they have changed their former views of guns? Perhaps they have actually read the writings of the Founders and finally realized that yes, yes, yes, the Founders did intend to protect the right for Americans to own and carry guns? Don"t bet on it my friends.
The fact is the Democratic Party and it"s supporters are still the anti-gun rights party. They still loathe gun owners and yes they still look down their elitist noses at gun owners. They still think the Second Amendment is an unnecessary obstacle to their views of America as a semi-Socialist State.
The only thing that has changed is the strategy of the Democratic Party where gun rights are concerned. They still are out to get your gun, make no mistake. They just intend to get them by earning your trust then sneaking in your back door, instead of kicking down your front door.
The Democratic Party has seen very clearly that being up front about their true ideology on guns and on several other core issues is not the way to win elections. So they have learned from their mistakes. Their new strategy on guns is to avoid the topic if possible and to play fast and loose with their true feelings when questioned about their ideals.
Take John Kerry for example. He is a decidedly anti-gun rights politician. His record shows it. Yet he has been seen on the campaign trail posing with a shotgun and talking about what a hunting enthusiast he is. So which Kerry is the real Kerry? Put your money on the anti-gun Kerry my friend. The rhetoric might have indeed changed but the goal is the same for Liberals in America.
The Democratic Party began moving away from their traditional talking points about guns after the 2000 elections. Gun control groups started changing their names to appear less threatening to gun owners. Names like Handgun Control morphed into the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Sounds reasonable doesn"t it? After all don"t we all want to curb crime? But the name change is only a face lift. The end goal of Sarah Brady and her Liberal followers is still to criminalize private gun ownership in America. And guaranteed the political party in America which backs that agenda is the Democratic Party.
They can stop talking about gun control. They can pretend they respect gun owners and their Constitutional rights to own guns. They can stop their rhetoric about guns being a plague on America and they can separate themselves from the Million Mom March, which apparently is actually the 3,000 Mom March, but their true ideals are still there.
They are still a liberal party with liberal goals and ideologies. They still would erase the Second Amendment if they could. All the photo-ops with Kerry and a shotgun are mot going to change his heart or the aims of his party. All the sound bites of Democrats espousing their love of hunting and their promises to protect gun owners rights are not worthy of our trust.
This new show of support for gun owners is no more than a façade. Democrats have learned this lesson well, they can not be honest about who they are and get elected in this country. Be it guns, taxes, the military, the war on terror, or issues of race, Democrats are far left of center and they know it.
So watch and listen to the Democratic Convention and hear what these people tell you. Look carefully at the bill of goods they will attempt to sell you. Then compare their speeches there with the rhetoric and hyperbole Al Gore and Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy and Charles Schummer have been spewing about your guns and their designs on them.
The truth is they have not changed, they have just finally come to grips with America"s overwhelming rejection of their far-left leaning views on firearms. The truth is still there and very easy to see. The Democrats still oppose concealed carry despite the benefits these laws have yielded. They still wish to limit the number of guns you can buy per month. They still want to create a database and register your guns. They still want to allow frivolous law suits against gun manufacturers. They still are taking aim at you and your right to self-defense.
If they win in November you will lose, freedom will lose and the Constitution will lose

Alot of people are gullible and buy into this stuff. one guy wrote into the local paper saying he supports kerry because he hunts and supports guns. Most peole that are for the AWB dont even know a thing about it. they think it means fully automatic machine guns. one day in history class, my teacher said something about a gun owning whacko that went nuts and killed a guy with a semi automatic machine gun..when he asked why i was having a silent fit of laughter i told him why..liberals like him start this junk when kids are in school..we're being brainwashed..look at all the money the teacher's union gave to the Dems. its BS. most people around here take John Kerry's word to mean exactly what he says. they dont know enough to know that he is lying.
We need to start rising up. I wrote a letter to the Wisconsin State Journal about a column they had for the assault weapons, i posted that in a diffrent thread on this forum. we all need to start doing this. Quit being lazy and get off your asses! fight for your rights! too many are taking guns for granted. if kerry gets elected, your rights mean nothing.
The true gun identity of their party is not the only thing they are trying avoid these days, They don't even liked to be called a liberal when they support all aspects of liberlism LOL.

That and they realized that when they brought the gun control issue up in '00 that was a mjor reason why they lost, they've realized the the NRA is big enough to sway an election and that America as a whole does not want gun control so they can't advertise for it and win.

The Democratic Party, in its "Anybody-but-Bush" mentality, thinks the only way to defeat the Right is to counter it by going even further to the Left. I don't understand this, as most Americans are going to fall somewhere in between the two extremes. Still, a lot of centrists tout the "Anybody-but-Bush" line, and in doing so, they swallow the extremist liberal propaganda that Kerry and the DNC are feeding us. It is up to us and the rest of the Liberty-loving public to spread the word about what Kerry, et al. really wants to do with our freedoms. The threat to our rights goes way beyond just those of American gun-owners.

This is the bottom line here. Let's make some noise and defeat these freedom-fearing liberals!
A phrase that comes to mind here is, Do as I say, not as I do.
Kerry tells people that there are many problems he will solve, like healthcare, like jobs leaving the country, and he will also get those pills from Canada here, which is a contradiction regarding jobs remaining here. Healthcare, he will raise taxes, and not do anything about it like Hillary or we would end up like Canada, socialism at it's best.
Kerry likes to talk about what problems we face, but excludes how he will fix them. The how is what would be his downfall if he had any idea how he would do it. Which is ehy he doesn't talk about that.
