Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Fred Guttenberg harsh words for Bernie [View all]lapucelle
(18,250 posts)35. My vote is for The Brady Bill, against the PLCAA,
and aligns with core principles articulated in the Democratic Party platform.
Preventing Gun Violence
With 33,000 Americans dying every year, Democrats believe that we must finally take sensible action to address gun violence. While responsible gun ownership is part of the fabric of many communities, too many families in America have suffered from gun violence. We can respect the rights of responsible gun owners while keeping our communities safe.
To build on the success of the lifesaving Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, we will expand and strengthen background checks and close dangerous loopholes in our current laws; repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to revoke the dangerous legal immunity protections gun makers and sellers now enjoy; and keep weapons of warsuch as assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines (LCAMs)off our streets.

He's gone after Sanders and his pro-gun history long before Bloomberg was a thing.
