Democrats would lose the Senate in 2014 if a serious gun ban were proposed.

54. That is insane.

Far more people die each year from lack of health care than from gun violence. But dying slowly from illness isn't a ratings-grabber, so the media doesn't give a damn.

Republicans are union-busting at an alarming rate.

Republicans want to keep women barefoot and pregnant. Republicans only care about "legitimate rape"--but not to the point where they want to allow a rape victim to have an abortion.

They're against the Violence Against Women act, they're against minorities, they're against schools, they're against the LGBT community.

Everything Democrats are fighting for, you're willing to give up over ONE ISSUE? One that will absolutely not keep guns out of the hands of career criminals?

Here's "what is needed": Mental health care for people before they go over the edge. Because those people will find a way to kill people en masse. Building one's own gun isn't that difficult, and slapping together a bomb is even easier.

I cannot believe that, on a Democratic forum, anyone is even suggesting letting Republicans take control of both houses. An estimated 45,000 people die each year in the USA, due to lack of health care.

Just because you don't see them on TV doesn't mean it's not happening.
