The Hill newspaper and Political have articles about how Democrats want to avoid discussing their views on gun control until after the 2018 mid-term elections. From The Hill:
Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) is urging his colleagues to stay away from gun control in the budget debate despite pressure from activist groups that argue the party needs to take a stand given the string of mass shootings across the country.
Schumer, focused on next year’s midterm elections, thinks it is smarter to focus on economics — specifically President Trump’s tax plan, which Democrats say is a giveaway to corporations and the rich, and GOP proposals to cut Medicare and Medicaid. . . .
In next year’s midterms, however, Democrats will be defending 10 seats in states won by Trump in last year’s election — including West Virginia, Montana and North Dakota, where guns are a big part of the local culture.
Schumer’s strategy is based, at least in part, on saving those seats and potentially winning back the Senate majority next year if Republicans falter badly. . . .
Politico also had this story from immediately after the Las Vegas attack:
It’s easy for them to lambaste Republicans for failing to take action after mass shootings. But elevating the issue heading into a midterm election next year — something Democrats said this week they have no plans to do — could repel the very voters they need to woo to regain control of Congress. Not to mention make their vulnerable red-state Democrats prime for Republican attacks. . . .

Then it behooves Republicans (or just plain Americans) to attend their rallies and townhalls and demand to be told their positions on gun control. Don’t leave them an out!
The democrats are evil and they side with the devil.
Like the devil, they hide their true intentions and pretend to be the “good guys”. They don’t know how to solve problems as they live in a swamp.
Don’t trust them. They want to destroy America and make all their voters and non voters subject to the evil one.
Make the sign of the cross and be rid of them.
Why is this news? The Democrats ALWAYS hide their rotten views before an election, because they would never win if they were honest about their intentions. They pretend that they are for whatever the people want.
Give your own money away.
Your knowledge of economics is lacking.
By raising taxes you give them more money to spend and you go after the producers.
Go after the leakers. Reduce salaries to $20,000. You will reduce the deficit and the debt.
But I thought 90% of Americans want stronger gun regulation. /s
Lie like hell.
Both sides lie to get elected - the Dems invented it and the GOPe/RINOs discovered it really works....
