Any Suggestions on What Can Be Winning [Strategy] For Democrats?

The NRA has politicians by the balls because they control gerrymandered districts.

All I am pointing out is that you (and Coldjoint) are not with the majority of Americans on this issue. You have view on the Second Amendment that most Americans don't share. Maybe you are right and most Americans are wrong about the Second Amendment... but that doesn't matter, we are talking about electoral politics.

Democrats should craft a positive message where they define what they mean by "assault rifles" and then explain why they should be banned.

They should also craft clear policies on background checks and closing loopholes.

These are all things that are supported by the majority of Americans. That's how you win elections.

And another problem for Democrats. "Loophole" is a buzzword used when legislation can't be justified by any practical argument. So if they have to resort to that, then clearly the policy in question can't be justified.

David Hogg for having the courage to speak out.

Gun control can be satisfied by a comparison to the US murder rate compared to any other developed country.

This is the only country where mass shootings are a regular occurrence. People are getting sick of it,

that's why the right is trying to demonize David Hogg for having the courage to speak out.

To tell you the truth, I have paid no attention to this David Hogg person. I do know that the whiny brats in general are calling to violate people's rights for no reason. Does he share their views?

The whiny brats are being condemned because people don't like it when someone comes along and tries to violate their rights for fun.

Possessing a rifle with a pistol grip is hardly playing Rambo.

And yet increasing numbers of people are going into crowded places such as schools and shooting multiple people with these weapons.

Banning them is the only sane response.

Doing so does not violate the Second Amendment at all.

Putting the Obamas, Clintons and Biden in a room somewhere untill nov 6 2019 would be a good start

And yet increasing numbers of people are going into crowded places such as schools and shooting multiple people with these weapons.

I highly doubt that there is any evidence of such a trend.

I'm afraid you're wrong. Here is a list of the mass shootings using an AR-15 type weapon since 2012:

Semiauto rifles which resemble automatic assault rifles need to go right now.

Why should schoolkids have to hide in classroom closets hoping their deranged classmates with an AR-15 or similar weapon doesn't find them? They don't in other advanced countries-only in America.

Those guns with pistol grips have been leading the pack in rifles used for mass murders.

Their similarity to automatic rifles sets the deranged off, as this spate of mass murders performed by the mentally ill determined to out in a Blaze Of Glory taking as many with them attests.

How many more schoolkids have to die before you are willing to do something.

And once again, you do NOT need a special reason to outlaw these guns.

The Second Amendment says you have the right to bear arms, it says nothing about the right to bear ANY arm you so choose.

These guns were outlawed before, then the law was foolishly allowed to lapse. It ban needs to be reinstated.

Those guns with pistol grips have been leading the pack in rifles used for mass murders.

If so, that has made no difference to the outcome of the attacks.

There is no reason to think that having a pistol grip on a gun makes anyone decide to kill people.

You have no basis to make that statement.

You don't know what might be the final piece to set a mentally ill individual off. There has been a massive glorification of assault rifles going on for the past couple of decades, which has been accompanied by a massive increase in the use of the semiautomatic version of these rifles to commit mass slaughters. These mentally ill individuals, most of whom expect to die in these incidents, clearly have chosen the closest weapons available to those glorified automatic assault weapon-the semiautomatic version of those same weapons.

Enough of the slaughters-ban them now.

Yet more and more people are being killed every year by deranged people using those pistol grip rifles.

And many of those people killed are schoolkids.

Of course these mentally ill people are drawn to the power of these weapons-that's the reason people buy them.

It sure as hell isn't to kill deer-it's to play Rambo.

Our schoolchildren are being slaughtered because politicians are afraid of pissing off middle aged men who want to feed their fantasies with real life war toys.
