Colorado Poll: Gun Control Politically Dangerous for Democrats

[ShooterInPA1]

A new poll measuring public opinion of gun control measures being considered in Colorado finds the issue could be politically dangerous for Democrats. And most don’t think “sweeping gun control measures will make them any safer,” according to the pollster.

“[W]hile opinions on this issue fall predictably along party and ideological lines, there are some political perils that Democratic leaders should be cognizant of,” writes pollster Rob Autry, of Public Opinion Strategies, in a memo detailing the poll’s findings.

“Democratic legislators also have to be mindful that even members of their own partisan coalition are conflicted about this proposed legislation. While only 8% of Democrats oppose all of the gun control measures we tested, 70% of Democratic voters oppose one or some combination of the proposals (either the comprehensive package, the background checks, the liability claim, or the high-capacity magazine ban).”

“These poll numbers prove that Governor Hickenlooper and the Democrats are listening to Bloomberg and Biden instead of Coloradans,” comments state senator Greg Brophy, responding to the poll, in an email to me.

The Colorado issue is due to the influx of California(and other) liberals converging on one state. They migrated because of the overly liberal California lifestyle, or overly conservative in other western states, but also brought with them their same voting habits.

Pennsylvania suffers from the very same problem. Once a solid red state, now firmly a blue state at the national level. ....why? ..escapee's from NY, NJ, and MD settling in PA and bringing their bad habits with them.

Luckily we have a good Constitution regarding guns.

PA Constitution
Section 21 . Right to Bear Arms
The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

Oh yeah?

Explain PA Title 18, Chapter 61, Subsection 6108 versus PA Section 21, US Amendment II, Bliss v Commonwealth(which Kentucky had the very same wording in their protective clause), and Murdock v Commonwealth.

Constitutions and any protective clauses/amendment don't mean squat when it comes to guns. It only applies to religion and speech.
