It needs to stop

6. I understand

But you must realize that politicians have been talking about it for decades now and things in many ways are worse than when the Brady Bill was passed.

To me the time for talking about gun violence while doing nothing is over. These sorts of incremental steps - or vague promises around them - are just posturing. And posturing on the back of 3000 dead Americans a month isn't better than nothing. Not to me.

And I'm not a purity voter... But when the something you're promising to try and accomplish is close to nothing - and has no method of measuring success - then it's basically nothing.

And when you raise money - or make dire warnings about your opponents - when all you're gonna do is nothing - then I'm wildly Unimpressed.

I'd support any politician that offers a plan with real numbers and will hold themselves responsible if it doesn't achieve those goals. Those conditions are even close to "purity" but are instead a sort of bare minimum any system needs to succeed.
