uteguns

This is why you won’t have any chance of winning, especially with unaffiliated voters like myself (or my family/friends). You’re Misty Snow 2.0 and have a far more progressive agenda than people want, which makes you too detached from the regular Utahn. Utah is an extremely pro 2nd Amendment state and doesn’t want increased gun control. Utah has one of the lowest homicide / mass shooting rate but you still want to go on this obscene crusade to disarm your constituents. How about focus instead on something that we can all agree on, the horrendous opioid and suicide crisis (where almost all of our gun deaths come from) that is plaguing our state?

That judicial precedent is no longer applicable as many attempts to establish the same law since the sunset have failed (and will continue to fail). You also need to take Heller into account where the Supreme Court ruled in favor of individual ownership.

I was also asking for proof for you’re claim that the majority of unaffiliated voters in the 4th district or Utah as a whole are progressives.

Would you mind providing proof for your claim?

I agree the 2nd Amendment doesn’t guarantee unfettered access but it also doesn’t allow the government to place burdensome barriers to ownership. It also is specifically for the ownership of offensive arms like the AR15.

Did I ever say anything about right wingers or republicans? I’m certainly neither of the two and also not the one campaigning for public office. I’m not the one who has to convince unaffiliated voters to vote for me. I just think before you make wild claims that most of the half a million unaffiliated voters in Utah are progressives you should have some proof to back it up. For the growth in the Democratic Party, it could easily be attributed to recent influx of tech workers to the 4th district and not actually a switch in the politics of those already here. Even then 79k Democrats in the 4th only make up a fraction of the overall population (745k).
