While I completely understand that there may be liberals who strongly support the 2nd Amendment, I often wonder who they can possibly find to vote for when election time rolls around. How many truly liberal candidates openly support gun rights? Very few, because it distances themselves from their core constituency. How many "liberals" are "single issue" voters, refusing to vote for anyone who is anti-gun? Again, I'd venture to say, from personal experience anyway, very few. Thus, a liberal who is "anti gun control" very often ends up voting for the candidate most likely to be pro-gun control, thus still doing damage to our cause while claiming otherwise, at least in my opinion and from what I have observed
