Attorney General Harris -- another gun control hypocrite

[branford]

14. As I indicated, I'm not a resident of California,

nor involved the its senate primary. Nevertheless, the OP's allegations were disturbing and deserve further research, particularly since they involve matters where gun rights and gun control proponents may find common cause.

In any event, you are certainly free to like and support Harris or anyone else. My issues were your first suggesting that not supporting her was the equivalent to voting for a Republican, and then later offering some potentially good points about her while ignoring the OP's actual allegations.

If you had simply and politely stated that you were unaware of the potential issues with Harris from the OP, believe they may be untrue or exaggerated and warrant further research, and that even if true, her other liberal accomplishments outweigh these problems, and that you therefore believe she should prevail in the Democratic primary and senate election, you would have received little, if any, push-back.

Tact, diplomacy, and most importantly, respect for fellow Democrats (even those who support gun rights) goes a very long way.
