Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, moderates who project themselves as pragmatic collaborators, are taking a no-compromise approach on the overhaul of the nation’s gun laws after the latest mass shooting.
Campaigning separately in eastern Iowa on Monday, the former vice president and the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, say the minimum provisions include universal background checks, a ban on military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition, and red flag laws to allow officials to confiscate firearms from dangerous people.
Biden told reporters before a Labor Day picnic in Cedar Rapids that inaction from President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans is “disgraceful.” Asked if there’s room for negotiation, he declared: “None. This is one we have to just push and push and push and push and push.” Buttigieg also rejected compromise, saying after a campaign event in Cedar Rapids: “There is just no good faith in the congressional GOP nor, I believe, in the White House when it comes to dealing with this issue.” […]
“Look, you can either defy the American people or you can defy the NRA,” Buttigieg said. “You have a choice.” […]
Biden’s and Buttigieg’s positions represent a rare case of absolutism from the two men. Despite their generational divide, at ages 76 and 37, both have staked their campaigns in part on calls for a more civil, productive governing process in Washington. …

The NRA is the American people you dipsticks.

Of course not. You cannot assume the throne unless you disarm the law abiding citizens.
Never mind the AP insisting that both are “moderates”.
smokingfrog says no more compromises on my 2nd amendment rights
Douches may not infringe.
That is all.
Agreed. The Dems need safe working environments for their people such as this.
A groper and a “gay” guy. Now there’s a pair. Anyway, I say NO COMPROMISE on THE BILL OF RIGHTS. Shove it butt boys!
WTF?
Refusing to compromise confirms that they aren’t really interested in passing legislation. Only in virtue-signaling and in trying to pin the blame on Trump the next time some tragedy occurs.

All non-starters.
Any Republican that backs these needs a primary challenge.
Beto O’Rourke also chimed in he would force gun owners to sell their AKs and ARs.
“I was asked how I’d address people’s fears that we will take away their assault rifles.
I want to be clear: That’s exactly what we’re going to do. Americans who own AR-15s and AK-47s will have to sell their assault weapons. All of them.”

Probably talking about a forced buy back program. His political career in Texas is dead.
Does no compromise mean no new gun laws?
Be honest about this--it's called a gun registry. They're just trying to capture firearms that haven't been entered into the database that no one will admit to legally having.
Among many others, if this issue doesn’t sufficiently motivate patriotic Americans to turn out to vote next November, I don’t know what will.
Illegally having, that is.
Would I be too far out of line to hope that Groper Joe got some potato salad that had been left out in the sun too long at that Labor Day picnic????
Leave it to the AP (Asinine Propaganda)...
