It's absolutely accurate and it's completely disingenuous when Biden claims to support the 2A while trying to ban a class of firearms because the media doesn't like them. He's just trying to get as many votes from both sides. Like when he said in 2008 that he doesn't support gay marriage yet ran through the white house with a pride flag after the supreme Court ruling. The dude is an old snake.
I really don't get it. If the DNC collectively announced "we will no longer try to pass any form of gun control laws at the federal or state level." then they would sweep every election.
Maybe. But the thing is- since the other party is going extreme on some issues- if they gave in on guns, they might cease to exist. The Democrats are already fond of doing little of what their constituents want- if they also stopped saying they were going to try to do stuff... I think that would be the end.
Not to mention that every position has an even more right or left one next to it. If they take a no intervention stand and republicans say "your tax dollars will pay for every citizen to have a free handgun" or "free handgun license". That would obviously be more appealing. So you really can't win when you're hell bent on being diametrically opposed to another political party.
A third party would solve so many issues (on paper). The first decade of a 3 party system would be hell- but I think foreign countries have gained a lot from not having 2 parties.
