might cost the Democrats in votes. How many other developed countries have the gun death rate that we do? Let's restrict these guns and let the bat crap crazy gun lovers take it to court. And you know what, let's bring pressure on the courts and the justice department to stall the adjudication as long as possible. It might be that the SCOTUS would rule that law constitutional now, but I'd feel a lot safer with a RW retirement first.
Waiting to convince the NRA supporters who claim to be Democrats is no longer an option. Minimal laws that would be certain to pass muster with a right wing majority on the SCOTUS is not an option.
