The ironic thing is that I don't think many dems really know or care that much about the issue, other than its one of their positions.
    That goes both ways.

    There are a ton of candidates that are probably like minded, except for the lack of NRA support.

    You can't expect people who want gun control to drop it, without equally telling people who want to eliminate all gun control to drop it, too.

    The exact same can be said about abortion.

      Yeah, but conservative's in office need their tax breaks for their donors. They don't care about the deficit or the debt unless it's money for Democratic Party initiatives. Like welfare, social security, medicare, medicaid, infrastructure, etc.

        It's a nonsensical statement anyway. Why would you expect people just to "drop" an issue that kills thousands of innocent Americans every year? Let's just drop the talk about terrorism and ISIS since they kill far less Americans than other Americans do .

          As I've said quite a few times, gun control makes perfect sense in the cities and zero sense in the country. God bless rustic gun gropers -- give them all the guns. Near as I can tell they wind up shooting themselves, their kids, and each other which improves the species.

              Heh. Girlfriend's dad was kind enough to explain to me that he owns 100 guns at the moment, and had just purchased five more earlier that week. Subtle.

                    Most of them are pre-1900 collector weapons, not to be fired.

                          In general, the more guns the less the ability to pay for them. The inheritance is probably an underwater mortgage, 20+ years of yellowing NRA publications, and an enormous cache of interracial gay porn jpgs.

                            • Re: POTUS 45.16 - If Never Forgotten, One Would ALWAYS Remember Something.

                              A few thoughts:

                              1) I know its popular in Trump circles to say that he'll pay for massive tax cuts by getting rid of mortgage interest deduction, which would presumably screw people in blue states. If the Republicans do this I'll eat my hat. Most wealthy GOP donors live in states like NY and CA in private enclaves and gated communities (one of the Koch's is in NY for example). There is little chance the GOP enacts any tax hikes on the rich even if its to pay for other tax hikes on the rich. A precedent would have been set and that's not going to fly.

                              2) Regarding Itch, Scoobs is right in that the guy inexplicably but much like Paul Ryan gets gold-plated national media coverage even in though in terms of doing the traditional function of his job (legislating) he's a fuk up. Has he ever gotten anything enacted? I can think of no partisan or bipartisan bills that have his name or effort behind them and he's been in the Senate for like 30 years. Is he going anywhere in the Senate? No, but Trump is actually focusing real scrutiny on the guy that the media is too afraid to do and I doubt Itch is liking it much.

                              3) For Dems, I completely disagree with dropping reproductive rights as a campaign issue. Maybe when Republicans start taking that away women will wake up more and start voting Dem as I think the problem is people have gotten lazy and expect the courts to solve that problem for them, which by and large they have although that rests on the health of 2 80+ year old SCOTUS justices (Kennedy, RBG). That's not to say that pro-lifers aren't welcome into the party if that's their personal preference. Just that the party collectively will not push a pro-life agenda. I also think Dems would be better served by pressing anti-choice Goopers to define their views. There's a lot of Todd Akin's out there who think rape victims don't get pregnant unless they enjoy it, but they skate by because nobody presses them on their exact views.
