The gun humpers are out in force pushing back on taking action on gun restrictions.

20. No carve-outs. That's way too much compromise, with dead children as the inevitable result

We need a complete ban on assault weapons and semi-automatics, period. Do mandated buybacks, then arrest people who don't turn them in. The ONLY guns that should be available to civilians are for self-protection and hunting. And last time I looked, there weren't a whole lot of deer with their own AR-15s waiting for your ass to come get them. NO ONE needs these weapons. Talk to people in the military. They will tell you the purpose of these weapons is to kill a lot of humans fast. Who the fuck needs that in a civilized society?

But we're not really a civilized society, are we?

We should not compromise on this. We have to keep hammering this until we can eventually get it passed. Don't let up. DON'T let up until we elect more Dems in order to get it passed. The Dems have great issues to run on: the very LIVES of our children, autonomy of people (women and LGBT), safety in our streets, a social safety net. It's way past fucking time they start using these messages effectively. They need to be shocking. Say things like: "Do you want your children to be slaughtered in their classroom? Then elect [fill in the name of the corrupt R running against them], because they don't believe in protecting your children from being slaughtered in their classroom." Something like that, anyway. I'm sure the pros can come up with something pithy. They need to point out that every R running against them supports slaughter in the classroom. It's the truth. They need to use it.
