It seems to me that the most important issues in this campaign for the vast number of Americans will be the war and the economy.
Following this, for most democrats, will be reproductive rights (particularly with the Supreme Court losing its balance) and labor/trade issues.
Are assault rifles really as important to you as these issues? If they are, it is hard to imagine how either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama could have possibly earned your vote in the general election.

We need to stand firm on behalf of sensible gun control legislation. We have to enact laws that will keep guns out of the hand of children and criminals and mentally unbalanced persons. Congress should have acted before our children started going back to school. I realize the NRA is a formidable political group; but I believe the American people are ready to come together as a nation and do whatever it takes to keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them.
