The Dems with control of the White House and Congress blew a massive opportunity to rein in gun violence by failing to pass an assault weapons ban instead settling for a Republican mental health bill.
Tragedies will happen until Congress bans assault weapons. Democrats - if they had political courage would get this done during the #lameduck session.
Sick and tired of politicians just talking. #BanAssaultWeapons #uspolitics #Fediverse

Folks who are uncomfortable with criticism of Dems for not being aggressive on gun point to issues such as filibuster - which underscores the shortcoming of ineffective and politically facile Democratic leadership with no willpower and courage to take on meaningful structural reforms to help the country.
In other words friends - note I am a Democrat - but I am not tribal - will not hesitate to call out leaders when they come up short.

@murshedz Yes! They won't get the chance to for another 2 years and just think of the lives this would save!

The #lameducksession is the last chance for substantial change before the House begins its political theater.
There seems no urgency from Democrats to seize the opportunity:
