I PROPOSE A COMPROMISE

We'll let you have gun rights if you let us have abortion rights.

Yeah.. and again, its not that I'm happy with Dean's position on guns - its that I'm happy with them -for now-.  My goal is firstly to stop the advance of the anti-gun, anti-2nd amendment groups, and then following that to have the anti-gun laws in place repealed.  But none of this can begin if we have a powerful enemy of the 2nd amendment like the anti-gun dems in place.  This is why a massive party shift within the dems to be more 'pro-gun' is so favorable, and why I'd then support them on principle.  With both parties being pro-gun, there's nowhere for gun rights to go but forward, so to speak.
