7. shall issue a defeat for majority democrat position

kang: This year four constitutional carry bills passed (West Virginia, New Hampshire, Maine, and Kansas), two of which were vetoed. We will be back next year, and the year after that.

Do you realize that not one of those states had a reputable pro gun poll prior to the turn of the century, which showed majority support for enabling shall issue ccw?
You evidently do realize it was far right wing legislatures which presented insidious shall issue bills year after year which eventually enabled shall issue to take over.
Do you realize you are praising our opposition the republican party? for enabling this shall issue which the American public was against during the latter half of the 20th century? There may be some support now, but that is due to the declining violent crime rate, which is in part due to declining gun ownership rates.

kang: Back in the 70s/80s it looked hopeless.

Until the gun lobby, republicans in US congress, and republican state legislatures fabricated right wing propaganda to deceive the American public (see my signature line) and then rammed thru shall issue legislation despite 'the will of the people'.
Is this what you strut about so proudly for?

If you are so gung ho about rightwing gun views, you might consider joining them. You seem to equate this conversion to shall issue to some kind of grand achievement, some grand siècle, when what it actually was, was a defeat of the majority democrat opinion on carrying concealed guns.
