The Second Amendment Foundation has secured a leaked document which we are dubbing, “The Democrat’s Gun Control Playbook.”
The 70+ page document has instructions on how anti-gun groups and politicians can divide pro-gun supporters, fight the NRA, and even how to capitalize on national shooting tragedies in order to further an agenda of more gun control.

Leaked Democrat Document Instructs Anti-Gunners to Use National Tragedies as Opportunities to Pass Gun Control

Now I know where all the anti gun talking heads on this forum and in the MSM have been getting their talking points. Using tragedies like Newtown to further push an agenda is shameful.

No document was ever needed to confirm the obvious.

No kidding.
Call it blatantly obvious.

Who cares?

I've told you guys a million times that the US Senate and it's rural composition is what protects gun rights.

Didn't you guys notice the dems blustering and flustering about gun legislation and then quietly let it die because it would probably cost them the Senate in 2014?

All the gun stuff after Newton was grandstanding and posturing....just like "take those profits" Hillary and the dog and pony hearings about big oil in 2008.

I'm not picking on the dems, the reps have their pointless fundraising, base-rallying issues too like abortion etc.

This is a leaked Democrat Document? It looks more like a paper done by an independent organization on how to best go against gun advocates but not from the desk of a specifically elected Democratic official.

Now if you are saying that the authors are Democrats then that's a different story (that would require proof) but again who cares?

I am willing to bet that the NRA and pro gun groups have their own playbooks as well. This could be up for non-issue post of the week. Who cares?

Don't you just hate it when your side's tactics get exposed?

It would be common sense to do that. What is worthy of discussion about this document is that someone was probably paid a very pretty penny to put the obvious in print.

My side?

Actually what I hate are people with no reading comprehension skills assuming that someone is one thing or another. All I said was that this is not a leaked Democratic document but a playbook done by a third party. The NRA has one too as do all lobbying groups. Nothing new here.

I think people should have the right to have guns. I have never said or felt any other way. Good try though.
