    No, you literally do not know that. You believe that, I'm sure. That's different than knowing.

    The fact that there's nothing that can be done about it doesn't make it an invalid, or illogical, explanation.

    Wait, was it Hillary or Newsom that tweeted about a 28th amendment proposal?

    Hillary lost the rust belt by 79k votes. Three times as many people voted libertarian in 2016 (4.5 million) as 2012 (1.5 million). Dropping to 1.8 million in 2020.

    24% of Americans will not vote for a politician who doesn't share their views on guns.

    So if only 24% of the roughly 750k rust belt vote gain for libertarians was due to Hillary's stance on guns that 180k votes would be more than twice as many votes as would have been needed to defeat Trump.

    https://news.gallup.com/poll/220748/gun-control-remains-important-factor-voters.aspx

    Jill Stein doubled her number of votes as well... So it's not like all women were less popular.

    Clinton's well known stance on restricting the rights of law abiding gun owners cost her a lot of historically Dem votes. Almost certainly more than enough to have beaten Trump.

    It's illogical in a strategic sense to blame something you can't control when there are solutions available that you can control.

    It was a tweeted by a Democrat. As was/is Hillary. I'm discussing how that Dem strategy has historically hurt the Democrats, and by extension, the US.

    It likely would have been enough to win Florida for Al Gore as well. By making that state a blowout for Gore.

    *Edit* that's to say, it has hurt the Democrats if their goal really is to help the middle and lower classes of this country.

    If their goal is simply to play political games while holding the population down and pointing at Republicans then it has actually been very effective.

    Lol. Try again. It's a carry over from ArmaLite, the original manufacturer. Stands for ArmaLite Rifle

    I think that depends on the state. In Oregon there is no bag limit on feral hogs. Not sure about other states.

    Either way, 30-50 still might not be enough. We really need to reduce their numbers all over this country.

    Wild pigs are everywhere down here (est. 650,000) and I've seen some huge ones...in fact, a few years ago a guy in northern Georgia killed one that was 9 feet long and weighed 1100 pounds.
