There is something called the long game. Sometimes you have to give in on a battle to win the war.
I stand by what I have said. You either understand that their is a fight going on, or you sit on the sidelines and bitch and moan about how morally superior you are for letting the 2A die. This fight has taken decades to get here. There are only 2 sides. If you want to sit on the sidelines, or have always sat on the sidelines, you are the exact reason why Hogan had to sign the bills. That is a basic analysis of how much he will gain or lose by signing or not signing the bill. Elections have consequences, and this election has major consequences for anyone who cares about 2A if Hogan loses. If he loses, the 2A is toast. It will die a much faster rate than ever in our history.
Exactly. There is a long game, and being a Republican and Anti-2a at the same time cannot be a part of that. People need to not stand on the sidelines, they need to get out and vote. Use your vote to send the message that being anti-gun is a poison pill even for a wildly popular Republican Governor. Show the MDGOP you will send them home regardless of how popular they think they are.
