I suppose a base hit is better than a strikeout.

I would have preferred the Democrats to have pushed for a more substantial bill and forced the Republicans to vote against it. Always get the Party of No on the record to vote against reform.

But, the Democrats knew there was room for some compromise to actually pass a bill. And the bill has some meaningful measures to include the expenditure for mental health intervention, expansion of person prohibited regarding domestic violence offenders, and restrictions on purchasing a firearm for 18-20 year olds.

But, I agree that assault weapons and high capacity magazines should be banned.

Attached is a shopping list of provisions I proposed last month.
