(4,311 posts)It's really good right now. The Dems sound so reasonable, and are proposing such sensible, common-sense laws. They're making sure to hit the basic arguments every once in a while, so people tuning in can keep up.

Go Democratic Senators!!!

(4,311 posts)This isn't about the primaries. I just thought people should see it - sometimes GDP is like a black hole and you don't check the other forums for HOURS.

Most appropriate right here!

(4,311 posts)What can they possibly say that makes ANY sense?? The Dem's comments are so sensible, so reasonable, and so common-sense - and of course the majority of Americans are in favor of sensible gun control laws!

Some fights are too important to stay silent. Preventing gun violence is one of them. Stand strong @ChrisMurphyCT.

Oh - and enjoy the comments.
auntpurl
(4,311 posts)And of course Hillary has been very clear that this is a huge issue for her throughout her campaign. I've admired how direct and forceful she's been on the issue.
It would be good if Bernie were a bit more clear on his views.

(4,311 posts)It's 11:30pm here. Keep it kicked if you think, as I do, that all Democrats/Liberals/Progressives should be watching this amazing filibuster! Democrats at their very best. I feel extremely proud to be a Democrat, even more so than others.
Night night!

(1,045 posts)I'm extra glad to see it. Bout time!
And I'm glad to see President Obama express himself. He looked pissed off. I think that catalyzed it as well.
