Only if you're not liberal. *Edited to add: Zell Miller from GA is a democrat and one of the finest our government has employed right now. Though, he is one of few... |

I think (with few execptions) that most people that own guns and understand what the Second Amendment is REALLY about that call themselves "democrats" really have very little in common with what the Democratic Party SAYS democrats should be.

Hang out in the AR-specific forum. Little or no politics there. The General Discussion forum trends conservative/libertarian. That's just how the chips fall. Being "welcome" or not has little to do with it. |

Yes, Democrat gun owners are welcome here. We try never to actually run serious gun owners off.
However, you should know that if you state liberal/leftist views, you will get challenged. If nothing else, you can sharpen your debate skills. You might discover that you align more closely to a libertarian platform than a Dem platform. You might end up questioning the rest of what you believe if somebody says something that makes more sense than what you currently believe. Welcome! |

We're all democratic, but I would venture to guess that we're not all Democrat. Anyone is welcome here as long as they want to talk about guns, the movie Heat, MARPAT, and just about anything else. Just be prepared for some ribbing if someone doesn't like what you post. It's give and take so just have thick skin and don't wear your feelings on your sleeve.
Personally, I can't understand why anyone would be a registered Democrat anymore. People are entitled to their own beliefs, but I just don't understand liberals and why anyone would align themselves with the Democratic party as it is today. If it changes (yeah right) I may change my mind. Welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay.

If you'll note, there's an AR-15 forum, an AK-47 forum, a Handgun forum, and an Armory forum for firearm discussions. Under General, there's a reloading forum, tactics, etc. So... what was your point? |

That is fairly accurate. You'll find that you are be treated more fairly here than gun owners are on DU GD or 'The Lounge'. |

Sure! Just keep in mind that the number one factor here is the love of the gun and unlike most gun owners the "Black Rifle" owners have been shit upon the most so "Gun Rights" is major issue here. This tends to limit political discussion to the right since the left supports gun control.
There's plenty of Democrats here just the most of them stay out of the political discussions. It's your right to believe another issue is more important than "Gun Rights" just most here don't. All that being said, a good debate is always appreaciated!  Picking fights is frowned upon and one thing my daddy always told me is don't pick a fight you can't win. Tj |

FWIW I will not be voting for Bush this election. I was ready to gotto war FOR the man during the last election debacle. Unfortunately his stance on illegal immigration has turned me off so bad I cannot even describe how mad I am about it. YES........ I understand the implications of future SCOTUS nominees, district judgeships, possible new gun control under Kerry etc, etc....... I just don't care, I will NOT have my vote taken for granted. Let the flames begin....... |

As has already been stated, any liberal ideas you decide to post in GD will be promptly shredded by the overwhelming numbers of Conservatives here.
But see that's the difference. We will argue with you, we will talk to you and we will engage in the discussion. We will not ban you and kick you out, however. Try posting conservative or Republican ideals on DU and see what happens ! If you post on non-political topics or things specifically gun related, I think you'll find this place to be one of the greatest resources on the net. Welcome ! |

 Well, speaking as a Democrat with a pathologically high post count, I must say that the question you asked is monumentally stupid. Nobody cares what party you're registered with. However, as I hope this reply makes clear, poor reasoning or a casual attitude toward facts will likely draw sharp responses. Better luck in the future. |

Pres. Bush has only made legal certain types of immigration. Basically he has relieved some of the problems of the INS and the department of Homeland Security. He made it so people who try to escape poverty and want to work can. I can't believe that you would change your vote like that. Imagine if your ancestors had been denied entrance into the US because they looked for a better life and were willing to work for it. |

He's said he'll sign it if it comes across his desk....... I don't like that, FWIW, even though I know it's just petty politics, rhetoric, etc - a way to appear moderate w/out actually doing anything about that. All else I've got left to say about that is: "It'd damn sure better not cross his desk." Now, the fact* that he's said he "wants to sign it"............... Me no likey that one bit - petty politics or not. Still, I know how Kerry feels and will use my vote to "Bushwack" his sorry no-good ass. I also no likey the immigration stance by Bush (illegal OR legal), but I refer you back up to the beginning of my post........ Have a nice day! * I've heard libs toss this around left and right, but still haven't seen it w/ my own eyes - if anyone's got a citation, I'm all |

I'm registered as a elephant, But I fall into the middle ground.
Both parties have thier good idea's and thier bad ones. I'm pro-choice on the abortion stance. I'm for stem cell research. I'm for the WOT, and the the liberation of Iraq. I'm against having a POTUS who will bend over to pacify the EU and the UN. I'm against sitting around and letting terrorists walk over us. I'm against many weapons bans. I'm against the govt telling everybody how to live their lives, Both party's have done this. I'm against turning the US into a socialist system of govt. I refuse to vote jackass because of the attacks made on the 2nd. They challenge everybody's rights to firearms everytime they get a little power and I cannot ignore that. I'd vote for Nader before Skerry. I vote for which team I have the most in common with, Sofar the Reps are the winners of my votes. |

We are all Democratic here, do you mean Democrat? Even Republicans are "Democratic" our form of government is a "Constitutional Republic" but basicaly we are democratic. I just don't care for most Democrats. Their platform and policies will be the ruin of this Nation. They want bigger government, more taxes, less freedom and basicaly no personal responsibility, it is always someone or somethings fault. The Democrats like John Kennedy was and Zell Miller is are fine, I'm sure I would disagree with them on some domestic issues. I don't agree with George Bush on every issue either, but he is a great man and the leader we need for the next four years. Democrats are welcome here, hell we even change a few now and again. God Bless you and God Bless the United States of America. |

This was stated by a gun control advocate. He seems to have a better grasp of reality than some of you.
Gee, if this moron seems to get it, why don't some of the Bush bashers on this board seem to understand it? Personally, I don't see how a gun owner can remain a dem unless they believe the "sporting purpose" bullshit espoused by the likes of Kerry and don't care about EBR owners. They don't realize that their "sniper" rifles (any rifle with a scope) would be next. |

I will gladly accept whatever Kerry brings, the important thing is that I do not compromise on an issue that is dear to me. If I have learned anything with the Republicans controlling the legislative and executive branch is that there is not much difference between them and the Demoncrats. |

Oh, dont you worry, I will not just sit home. Just not voting for Bush is not hurting his campaign enough. I want maximum damage, therefore I am seriously considering voting for Kerry. It is going to be VERY tough to do so, but........we have to do what we have to do. An "amnesty" for illegal aliens proposed by "President Kerry" will not look nearly as attractive to a repub controlled congrees as one put forth by President Bush. That is my gamble.....I am willing to take the chance. BTW......I have convinced more than a few other Republicans to do the same, the fact that someone pointed out that Az is a battleground State just makes me feel that much better. Have a nice day |
