Kucinich is just following orders here. The Dems won't address gun control so they've ordered Kucinich to do so to appeal to their moonbat & gun control fringe base. Kucinich is well-liked on the extreme left so by doing this he won't feel any effects from independent and moderate voters.
He'll introduce this bill, the Dems will get all the million-moms riled up and excited by the Rat brass will knock it down because most Democrats won their seats by running as pro-gun candidates. But they'll achieve their goal by triangulating the issue and not alienating anyone. This is typical Rat politics here.
