7. Only 30% or so of population are gunners. Maybe 20% are attracted to assault style
 
weapons. Most are racists. They are loyal trump supporters.

4. He just gave other candidates a chance to intelligently point out how they would
 handle guns in society. I see opportunity, not scrambling of a message (and you assume that there is even universal agreement among democrats, an assumption that is surely wrong).

One DUmpmonkie gets it:

10. Their time is up and that's just too bad for them
 
They had their chance for 30 years to come to the table and get stuff done. They didn't. They are now irrelevant.

16. And it can also be a big asset for us.
 
57% are for banning the sale of semi-automatic assault weapons and 45% are for creating a buyback program.

I suspect that some of the people that are against creating a buyback program actually favor having no buyback program and destroying the weapons instead since I've seen that sentiment expressed elsewhere.

6. Come on Democrats. Stop being scared of Republicans and the NRA and start being strong!
 
The American people are on are side. 52% already support mandatory buyback and that will grow every-day as more and more of the students who's daily reality is mass-shooting drills and fear of being shot in their school, turn voting age. The NRA's sun is setting and we're taking back our country.

13. As a mother with kids in school, I worry. Why, because since Sandy Hook, they do not care.

I think most of the country is with Beto. But because of EC, the corporate media, and the hateful Republican party, with foreign ties, we need to come out in full force.

Turn Texas Blue, AZ, and NM.

15. He took a principled stance rather than a political stance. "Imagine" that.
 
This is why I said he is no longer running for president. He is now running for civil rights leader. Did you see the way the other candidates kissed his ring? They do not see him as competition. They see him as a symbol.

He should ask Yoko if he can use the song "Imagine" in his rallies.

. He is now running for civil rights leader.

Rich Irish fake Hispanic people are downtrodden and need more civil rights?

Teddy the Snorkel could only turn left when he drove, and look how that turned out.

They are OK with confiscating legal personal property, I wonder what they would say when the green new deal requires confiscation of their gas driven cars.

The old, "I went fishing and lost it in the lake," story probably wouldn't work ... didn't for Teddy the Snorkel.
