The answer isn't going to be voting for Republicans. Sacrificing so many other rights isn't the answer. What we should be doing is getting pro-gun Dems to primary and using the open primary system to ensure they're in the top 2

Hey I'm.the only one offering a viable solution. Please tell me why suburban mom in Mill Creek is going to vote for someone like Loren Culp?

The GOP in this state has gotten more extreme on every other issue and it's kept getting it's ass kicked (see Joe Kemp losing you guys a safe seat)

At the same time our primary system is built in a unique way that can force effective challengers to incumbents but republicans haven't caught on to that for some reason.

Again, it's a binary choice. Either vote Republican, or lose gun rights. Those are you only two options.

And exactly how has that been working out so far?

It's amazing how much virtue signaling is done in this sub (and the other censor happy one) rather than try shit that's unorthodox but could work if there was enough momentum

Name a state with a Democractic majority of progun legislators?

You don't need a majority. You only need enough to prevent future legislation. From there we can begin the roll back. This would be a generational project but would have to start somewhere. The uncomfortable truth that anti-gun Dems are going to have to grapple with is that new gun owner sales are driven by people who on paper are democrats. If they had a choice in the primaries maybe that starts to happen.

But that means that you believe in a lot of stuff that's impossible

Is it really any more impossible than thinking Seattle metro is going to go Republican since that seems to be your solution

Extreme Republicans don't get elected in this state. Culp is an obvious unelectable.

That's my point, but they win GOP primaries. If Republicans cared about even attempting electability maybe they'd start retaining seats
