Thank You Jerry Brown Supporters

[faterikcartman]

Those of you who have been on this site for a while will remember there are a lot of Jerry Brown voters here. Years ago people demanded to know what in the world they were thinking voting for him. They assured us he was a libertarian gun owner at heart and we need not worry. He would support their rights, liberty, and the Constitution.

Well today their support has been repaid and Jerry Brown has vetoed ALL of the onerous gun control legislation before him.

So here's a big THANK YOU to all the Jerry Brown voters on Calguns.

While I'm at it, let me THANK YOU for Jerry Brown's August 2014 invitation to illegal immigrants to feel free to come to California as it will be a sanctuary state. Yes sir, I'm sure nothing but nothing will help ensure we have a chance to roll back these firearms restrictions like millions of new voters (please don't try to tell me none vote now or that they won't be able to vote in the future) who have no knowledge or appreciation for our Constitution. Nor, it seems, a loyalty to it as a recent news story made clear 18 million new voters from foreign countries were able to skip the loyalty vow. In fact, most of these new voters come from places where they voted for politicians who made private gun ownership forbidden to the citizenry. That doesn't stop Mexico from having a higher rate of gun violence, but who's keeping score.

Oh I know, don't worry -- the courts will uphold our Constitutional rights...oops, milk just shot out my nose I just started laughing so hard.

Culture trumps politics. And as our culture changes, so will our laws. Regardless of what is said on some old pieces of paper.

So before I go clean the milk off my keyboard, let me once again give a big, personal, THANK YOU, to all the Jerry Brown voters here. I'm sure things will be even better when you and the nevertrump crowd give us HRC. Oops, more milk just shot out my nose. Gotta go.

Yes, good 'Ole Moonbeam is a buddy to gun owners.

He owns firearms, didn't you know that? And as we all know, ALL firearms owners are pro 2nd Amendment, and believe in no infringement of those rights.

And he gave a thumbs up at an NRA booth years ago, so he must be our friend, right? I mean wow, what an awesome thing to do.

It was flabbergasting that a good percentage of this membership believed in that garbage, along with the many who supported Obama in 2007-08- "oh, he is a moderate, he will never touch gun control". To those who are recent to this forum, I am not kidding.

They forgot the first rule in gun politics; never trust a Democrat. Never.

What a pal!

I don't remember many people full on supporting Brown. The problem is that he's already elected, so wtf can you do at this point? Plus, be realistic, apart from a Hollywood "Republican", do you think a real republican would ever get elected Governor? That's just being silly.

BTW, your thread comes off as a hissy fit.

No one here that I saw supported Brown. You have to put it in context - they may have supported him over other Democrats or anti-gun Republicans.

Umm...The very leaders of CGF supported Brown - some of the same ones who supported Feinstein. If you don't remember it then you haven't spent much time down here in the 2A section of CGN.

I hate to admit it now. I voted for JB based off his prior vetos and the anti-2A rhetoric that Kashkari was spewing. I was fooled. I know my vote didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things in CA but it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Everything else I voted was basically along (R) party lines and obviously it was all shot down (the taxes I voted against passed and the criminals got released early). I truly thought that there would be a silver lining in the end. BOY WAS I LET DOWN!

It doesn't matter at this point. Even if brown had vetoed every single bill they would have been for back for Newsome or any other crook to sign... we where going to get it eventually and we still will get more **** from the next gov this is the beginning ... and for the record I didn't vote for brown.

Do you know and understand why a real Republican can't be elected in the state of Reagan? Here's one view: http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2012-11-14.html

As for the hissy fit, it appears you would be happier if I didn't shake people up and point out what they've helped cause -- and thereby possibly stop them from doing something equally harmful this November. And that sort of thinking deserves a big THANK YOU! Yes, I know you've already said you're welcome.

As for folks not remembering many Jerry Brown supporters here, as the song says "the rose we remember, the thorns we forget..."

Really? Is there a link or anything we can see to point to that?

You sir, deserve a "I manned up and owned it" card. Well done. The past we can't fix, but I'll assume you can be counted on moving forward. Thank you -- and I mean a real thank you. Too many of us struggle with owning up to our mistakes.

If someone voted for Brown, they may have voted for the sort of state legislator who, as you say, would have tried to bring it back later. Or for Newsome. And for that they deserve our "thanks".

I for one, am sick of people getting a pass. I'm all for getting what you deserve. But the problem is, the rest of us are also getting what they deserve.

I guarantee it will be the last time I "give an inch".

Do a search it ain't that hard.

Well, let's see...It was either Brown or Meg. Meg was definitely anti gun so that left Brown. Sometimes voting is not so simple...
