First about the platform. As a matter of fact I did contribute the 2012 Party Platform. The party platform is designed by the party members. After each precinct votes in the primary the precinct chair may hold a party meeting specifically to address the party's platform. I did that as precinct chair in the 2012 election season. All precinct suggestions are forwarded to the county convention where they are collated, voted on, new ideas added and the resulting condensation forwarded to the state convention where it is lather, rinse repeat before going to the National Convention. Some of my precinct's ideas made the cut, some didn't.

You support the platform with reservations. Very good, almost all Democrats fit that description. Your initial platform comment was basically a demand that I support one plank. I did not just as you seemingly have issues with the current platform. Not a problem there. We clear now?

As for my support of and which planks will reduce gun violence without restricting the mythical 2nd amendment right, I support each one and believe each one from background checks to repealing the PLCAA will reduce gun violence.

Haven't heard back about the Safer Communities Act that I talked about in the other post but perhaps you have thoughts about this post.
