Hey the moment full communist utopia is achieved I promise to be the first to willingly bury give up my guns.

It's a pipe dream to expect Progressives to fully abandon the gun control fight in exchange for public firearm safety training and comprehensive mental healthcare funded by a firearms industry tax increase. What left leaning person would ever get behind something like that? Yuck

Get hosed, gun chatters.

I'd guess Democrats need to push wealth inequality remedies. I don't know how they're going to overcome gerrymandering though.

Get the Supreme Court to adress it :ghost:

Looks like Democrats don't care about the issue of gun control! Or at least they tire of it quickly. Maybe this IS an issue that could be dropped from the platform.

"But we just want common sense regulations like background checks" in comes a different Democrat pitching another AWB.

As a far leftist gun owner living in a red state, I would gladly bury give up my guns for the revolution if it would help. It won't.

Thread delivers little info on how Dems can reclaim the House.

Thread delivers a certain type of Dem self-righteously extolling the virtues of shooting themselves in the foot while explaining that they're not really shooting themselves in the foot and even if they were it doesn't really hurt. Besides even if it did hurt, shooting yourself in the foot is morally superior to being able to walk into town to do things that will help the people there right now. We can help people later because that day will definitely come after we finish shooting our feet off. History is inevitable.

You're so far from self-awareness that if the word 'introspection' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of your synapses it would not equal one one-billionth of the ignorance you've shown at this micro-instant.

If you were an AI, Dr. Turing would delete you. :boom:

We must ban guns so gun banners can stop shooting themselves in the foot.

Define "real gun control". There is no definition for "reasonable gun control" and Democrats aren't in good faith on this issue. But let's continue to put our heads in the sand that it is not a liability.

real gun control = gun control which targets things contributing to the largest proportion of gun violence, not getting worked up over tacticlol poo poo because black guns with holes and rails are scary.

you can still debate over how much is reasonable, but at least target something worthwhile so you're not blatantly being an uneducated moron who is easily distracted by... oooh shiny

banning handguns is a non starter.

Democrats can win back the House by being left-wing. That's all.

Agreed. And do a better job educating Americans how Republican obstructionism is harmful to progress

Can you name a single political figure within the Democratic party over the last 30 years who you could plausibly imagine running something analogous to Trump's campaign?

Maybe that's the trump ticket for the Progressives. Become the Liberal Crimesquad that promises to destroy every gun in America. Send the military to fight the NRA. Declare the KKK a terrorist organization that will be bombed. Become the boogieman the right wing media itself has built up for years and you will get the attention by saying everything they fear.

The democratics could maintain 2008 black turnout levels if Obama announces a black Supreme Court justice and campaigns on the next democratic nominee and congress pushing them through. This is dependent on the Republicans denying Obama all year and Obama actually helping out.
