The Hill<\/a> reports that the Democrats are going into the election thinking that, for once, their gun control message can help them win the election. So convinced that Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-Independent Nanny Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City who sought to regulate the size of the sodas New Yorkers drank and whether or not they could give their babies formula instead of breast-feeding, is speaking at the Convention tonight with his wallet wide-open to candidates willing to relieve Americans of their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

The heightened focus on gun reform marks a shift \u2013\u2013 some might say a gamble \u2013\u2013 for Clinton and the Democrats. The party rejoiced after enacting an assault weapons ban under President Clinton in 1994, but when the Republicans trounced them at the polls later in the year, many attributed the defeat to the gun debate.<\/p>\n

In similar fashion, Al Gore was stung for embracing gun reform as he sought the White House in 2000, losing several states \u2013\u2013 including West Virginia and his home state of Tennessee \u2013\u2013 where voters were exceedingly wary of his gun positions.<\/p>\n

That track record has left some conservatives practically drooling at the thought that Clinton would make gun reform a major issue of this year’s campaign.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For some reason, Democrats think that the sit-in they staged on the floor of the House earlier this year was some big milestone moment. I guess they didn’t notice that most of Americans were laughing at them;<\/p>\n

Asked if the Democrats will stage something as dramatic as another sit-in when Congress returns to Washington in September, Lewis left the door wide open. “It’s possible,” he said.<\/p>\n

Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.), who also helped organize the sit-in, said the tactic was devised with November in mind.<\/p>\n

“We had the sit-in so that we would be able to define this issue and the difference between the two parties,” Larson said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I honestly don’t think that gun control is the issue that Democrats think it is. They’ve poisoned the debate using complete morons to get their message out and Americans noticed that. Bloomberg’s money hasn’t changed any elections. the sit-in was a joke to most of America (except maybe in the Democratic Underground echo-chamber forums). It may end up being the issue that energizes Americans to vote for Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
