**** This isn't a gun control thread.

For what purposes do Democratic politicians protect guns at all costs?

The correct answers are:

1. Political power

2. Economic power

Those overlap and apply at all levels.

A. Republicans protect guns at all costs because guns are one of their main issues.

B. Democrats protect guns at all costs because being slightly for gun controls is one of their main issues.

C. Democrats and Republicans protect guns at all costs because guns are one of the main ways that America maintains economic and political power internationally.

Not much room for debate when the op starts out with agree with me or you’re wrong.

Excellent counterpoints and counterargument. As a "progressive," are you really just a Democrat?

You complain. I haven't seen you debate.

I vote D because they are closest to my desires while still maintaining a chance to win. Because I live in CA I have the good fortune of being able to cast 'virtue' votes while still being comfortable that R's won't win. I do not believe that voting for a third party is a protest or wasted vote if you believe that person best represents your wishes. But I have also found that voting against someone who doesn't give you 100% of what you want will sometimes deliver you a representative that gives you 90% of what you don't want.

That has absolutely nothing to do with Democrats protecting guns at all costs, and you trying to counter with an 'emoticon.'

Pointing out you are not looking for debate but rather just having people parrot your opinion back to you is not a complaint. If you take it as such then you should reevaluate your stance. Not doing what you want or being bound to make constitutional laws is not equal to protecting guns at all costs.

I welcome challenges to my commentary, so your comment is incorrect. I wish that people here actually challenged my commentary in a good way.

Starting off with “ the correct answer is” in no way welcomes challenges. You say you want to be challenged in some good way, however when you fail to show any openness to grow when you are challenged and instead plug your ears and stomp your feet in denial.

I have no need to try and talk rationally to an irrational person, and anyone who asks a question then claims there only two right answers is an irrational person. Show you have a willingness to learn and I will be happy to teach you. If you insist on keeping your eyes shut and ears closed then no one can help you
