I'm all for gun control, but honestly it's not worth the political fight. Dems should drop it from their platform for 10 years and fight the more important rights like taxing the rich, universal healthcare, climate change, and environmental protection. Far more lives would be saved from those than from gun control.

Also if they want to they could probably get a good bit of support by sponsoring independent ranges and firearm safety classes. Politically unaligned regional ranges would be fucken great to have, no having to worry about them being NRA bootlickers.

Actually, it’s becoming more and more of a winner in elections
