Change the composition of the SCOTUS.

Re-interpret the 2nd amendment.

we'd need to do a hell of a lot more than regain the house.. The congress can pass legislation all day long, but if it gets challenged, and it will, the SC, well, how much faith do you have in the SC right now? We'd need the house with a significant majority, believe it or not not all DEMS will vote for a repeal or any kind of ban. We'd need the Senate with a 60+ majority. And we'd need to expand the Federal courts AND the Supreme court. How easy you think THAT will be?

I will not vote for anyone who is against new gun regulation or who is against assault weapons ban.

That was Ok then and had proven results for 10 years until Republicans allowed it to lapse.

Start with that. Then there needs to be more done.
