I stepped away from our local committee in part because of the bullshit surround guns. Because I have other issues that garner my attention that Republicans are on the wrong side of in my book I still support more progressive candidates, but I am getting very frustrated with the party's approach to firearms on a larger scale. In Virginia we still aren't going as extreme as Beto did or what you see in California, but the arguments being made for things that even I could agree with (I am what the Molon Labe types would call a "Fudd," after all) are intellectually dishonest.

In all seriousness, though, that moment from Beto will probably cause a ton of Democrats in rural and southern areas to vote against him.

He might as well bow out now.  Even if you believe confiscation is on the table, you don't talk about it and you start with a buyback program first.  

I'm just concerned with a flood of 'confiscation eligible' firearms onto the black market should a law be written and what a concentration of firepower like that would do in the inner cities.
