Democrats in Alabama love guns, but only during elections

We are less than a month before an election and Democrats are looking down the barrel at another round of embarrassing and demoralizing election losses.

Endorsements by pro-abortion and anti-gun groups don’t help.

But fear not, because they totally relate to Alabama’s voters on the issue of guns.

Just watch them over the last week:

Candidate firing guns? Check.

Same candidate offering support for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders-style gun reform? Also check.

Candidate declaring himself pro-2nd Amendment? Check.

Same candidate saying he is open to restriction on the 2nd Amendment? Also check.

“[L]et me make my position clear. I will never favor taking any existing constitutional right away from any American unless we, as a people, come to the conclusion that restraint of some rights helps ensure the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness by all.”

Their signaling to a pro-gun electorate right before an election is transparent pandering, and no one believes them.

Mostly because it is obviously untrue.

These groups who support the actual positions of these candidates are out campaigning for them while the candidates state very different positions.

Moms Demand Action was out this weekend campaigning for Democrat candidates:

Does this sound like a group that gets Alabama voters?

Do they sound like a group that supports Alabama values?

The real question is where are the Democrats who see all these people they are giving their money, time and vote to pandering on positions they don’t believe in?
