1. Sorry you feel that way about the Democratic Party.

To move toward some common sense on guns, a Democratic President is about the only chance we have, as Supreme Court Judges are the best hope, is a Democrat picking the next judges. 5 to 4 votes on cases about the 2nd Amendment have made it very hard for anything meaningful. The view that the 2nd is a community right, rather than an individual right is the key to doing anything. That was the view for almost 200 years until the court became loaded with NRA approved judges. Staying home in November or voting to send a message may doom any firearm restrictions for another 20 years.
