I really hope this does not increase Mass-Murderer-in-Chief turnout, especially in Florida and battleground states. I hope I'm worrying about nothing.

1. I agree with Joe. Not sure now is the time to bring this up though.

Still, honesty is a rare quality in DC these days. And I doubt many gun nuts were going to vote for him any way. I think the majority of America agrees with him on this point.

2. I agree with him too

My concern is that FauxNews, hate radio, OANN, etc will twist this into OMG HE WILL TAKE ALL YOUR GUNZ, VOTE FOR MAGA!

We both know that is 100% nonsense but I have learned way too many people believe BS.

3. I guess the question is "if not now, when" but I still think the timing sucks.

5. The polling analyses

I’ve been reading indicate that the election is so polarized that there’s little either Trump or Biden might say that would cause a significant shift in advantage.

And everyone already knows Biden's position concerning a new AWB.

The next president will be decided by a tiny minority of apolitical, non-partisan independent voters who aren’t even paying attention to the election right now – many deciding whom to vote for on their way to the polls.

Polling also indicates that 'guns' isn't that much of an issue when it comes to voting for president.

FWIW, on this one issue, I disagree with Biden, but I’ll be voting for him and enthusiastically campaigning for him; there is no ‘perfect’ candidate.

10. I disagree with you vociferously

#1 The next president will be decided by how large OUR turn out is.

#2 So you are ALL IN on WMD's in the hands of the average citizen?

6. Does Biden realize he's asking

wing nuts to part with their penises?

7. Excellent!

Its the right thing and now not the time to tiptoe and play small politics . Courage of convictions. If high capacity magazines are a deal breaker they are already fucking voting for Trump.

12. I agree with him, but I wish he wouldn't talk about it before the election.
