Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"i'm a gun owner, we're not taking guns away." strongest opinion from a democrat i've heard on this topic.
I mean, she grew up in Oakland...
(I'm bay area born and raised IYKYK)
If only this was really true. She owns a handgun, but supports an “assault weapons” ban, and supports mandatory gun buybacks. Which is literally coming for your gun and preventing people from buying new ones.
Best case scenario is she does nothing or expands background checks, the rest will hopefully be stopped by the supreme court and local police refusing to follow unconstitutional orders.

Sounds like a pretty reasonable stance.

Red flag laws break due process, universal background checks are in place, assault weapons bans are literally gun grabbing
Trump has said he’d break due process when it comes to guns before too. I guess if easy gun access is your goal then neither option looks great.
Trump is bad for gun owners too, it’s a shame America has two god awful choices.
Only one is god awful. The other is decent. Not perfect, but decent.
She’s bad, not decent, nowhere near perfect.
If only she did not have a long and documented history of supporting much more than this, weapons bans, mandatory buyback programs. Just because she is feeding us the slop now does not change the fact I can watch the video where she said she wants to have a buyback program.
Trump is the only president to ever say he would take guns from Americans and he even said to do it without due process.
Didn’t say I liked Trump either. Both are going to be gun grabbers in one way or another, except one of them will hopefully follor the process and get stricken down in the courts.
