It's election time. It will be the perfect way to prove we care and gain votes. The police care. Republicans care. Only the politicians don't care.

Make this a crusade to get assault weapons out of the hands of domestic terrorists.

It's the leadership that has the say. They want fewer weapons, especially assault weapons, off the streets and out of the hands of nut jobs.

Do not be a defeatist on this. It's a win-win.

Reinstate the ban, alongside the police.
