I think some of the problems in both Dem and Repub parties is the extreme philosphies, middle america is getting lost.
For instance I can wholeheartedly believe in my right to bear arms, and I have closet full of guns and pistols, I LEGALLY carry a concealed weapon yet I can also believe in gun reform. You shouldn't be able to go to a gun show and buy an assualt weapon on the spot. If you want AR's and other assualt weaponery as a collector than get a license, get checked out and then buy the AR's. However that is not acceptable by most of the people I know that are for the right to bear arms. I am giving away my right to bear arms by even allowing for the thought of gun reform.

As for precluding me from voting in primaries, generally I wouldn't anyway, but it is strange down here in primaries, I'm not from here. But it could preclude me from voting for the candidate I like and force me to vote for the parties candidate. Actually one of the primaries here was very strange only non-party registered were allowed to vote, I have to look into that further as I didn't know that was the law.

I'm with you on the gun reform as you stated it.....in California you could only vote for a candidate if you were in that party,I believe(there has been some changes though)
