I do it too but am afraid it will not always be a good test. It works until the demoncrats change their tune and start pushing pro-gun candidates who are repugnant on every other issue such as illegal aliens being welcome, partial birth abortion (which I think amounts to murder), welfare, Obummercare, and on and one. Likely to happen, who knows since the dems change their tune as often as every month just to stay in power as best they can or so it seems.That is to say, I would generally find more objectionable points of views from a candidate who isn't a strong 2A supporter. As long as political viability (electability) resides primarily with just a two Party system, this litmus test works for me in "grading" political candidates.
Yeah....I don't see that happening {ever}! There was a time for me growing up, the Democrats weren't nearly so "anti-gun". I don't necessarily think they were ever overtly "pro-gun" but at least they were apathetic about the issue as a minimum. And many a "normal" Democrat back in those days, hunted. Such is not the case nowadays.It works until the demoncrats change their tune and start pushing pro-gun candidates...
