    To all potential presidential and congressional candidates: Make smart, comprehensive gun reform a part of your platform. Make it courageous. The nation is ready for this. We can leave the NRA behind.

        I agree. Show a clear contrast. Dems should stop being milquetoast and stand boldly for gun control.

        The voters, the citizens and the data are on the side of gun reform. It's a moral issue and a winning one. We don't want candidates afraid of the NRA and the Koch's anyway--we want candidates with hearts and spines.

        Look at what Australia did after the 96 shooting, gun reform does work, America has just left it too long and been too gun ho.

        The NRA is an organization which bullies the weaker, pays off the influential and panders to the wealthy. I'm not opposed to what it used to stand for but now it's our of control, not unlike the GOP. Dismantle, dismember & delete. It has no place in a safe society as it is now.

        The NRA and Evangelicalism are strange bedfellows.

        Not really. The extent of control and desire to own the narrative are common elements. And in reality you very infrequently find a nra supporter who isn’t an evangelical

        The Dems should highlight gun reform and affordable healthcare.
