You think the democrats are actually going to gain seats in the house? When 40+ states are shall issue? And people are seeing how regressive and leftist they are? Lets be serious...Donald Trump is going to get re-elected in 2020 or have someone with values similar to his that are similar. Unless the democrats drop the anti-gun crap they are not going to gain any seats in the house and they are not going to be in the white house any time soon. It's the reason why they lost in 2016 and will continue to lose for years to come. I don't think people are realizing that Obama pushed the gun control agenda until after he was re-elected.
Lets do a history lesson shall we...when Bill Clinton was elected Bush had to face a two sided front from him and Perot. If Perot didn't get 19% of the vote I imagine that Bush probably would have won. In 1996 Clinton had the benefit of Ross Perot running again because the reform party was closer to the Republican party politically than they were the Democrats, I think Dole still would have lost but it would have been a closer race if Perot didn't win. Obama got elected cause a lot of things happened at the right time for him. He went against Hillary Clinton who has absolutely no appeal to her and he also had the stock market and economy in shambles and people were ready for change due to being tired of the previous administration. In 2012 when the movie theater shooting happen you didn't hear a peep from Obama about gun control because it was in a election year. It was only after Sandy Hook and after he got re-elected that the gun control debate re-ignited and I feel the democrats leaking that Hillary wanted to make things back like they were from 1994-2004 was the number one reason that they lost.
The democrats can be for whatever issues that they are for when it comes to LGBT rights within reason(the gay state senator in California who made it not a felony to knowingly give someone HIV is not within reason), women's rights and other issues in society that they see fit to change...because they only really affect people who are LGBT or people who are pro-choice, those rights are subjective to only those to certain groups. However 30-56% of american households own guns, and the majority of people in the states who have more 2a rights than Maryland are not going to want to lose their rights because of someone who isn't their demographics. When you start talking about changing the 1st amendment right and the 2nd amendment rights you are going to lose a hell of a lot of supporters, especially law abiding citizens who want to protect themselves from criminals or sportsmen.
