Democratic candidates gathered in Sin City and went all in on gun control. Granted, it wasn’t hard to do when the event was sponsored by gun control groups Giffords and March for Our Lives and the table dealer was a left wing cable news network that didn’t even gamble their own ratings by putting it on their network. They live-streamed on the web instead. If you missed it, I don’t blame you. Still, there’s some big election-year ideas they’re betting on. Bans The field split on outright confiscation. They must have noticed that U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) isn’t at the table anymore after he championed the idea. Former Congressman Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke continued to double down, offering up a poll that says the majority of Americans support a “mandatory buyback” (read: confiscation). I’ll take action on the bet they didn’t ask the more than 16 million modern sporting rifles owned by law- abiding Americans. Those are the semiautomatic AR-15 rifles they vilify, different from the rifle employed by the military. O’Rourke isn’t the only one betting on this. U.S. Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) want in too. CARTOONS | CHIP BOK VIEW CARTOON Every Democratic candidate believes banning an entire class of firearms – the modern sporting rifle – is a winning hand. Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D-Ind.) told reporters following the event that labeling the semiautomatic rifle as a “weapon of war” – which is different from the military M-16 and M-4 – isn’t misleading. Buttigieg said he supports banning the sale of “assault weapons, like what I carried in Afghanistan.” Don’t bet on black on this one, Mayor Pete. They’re different firearms. Register Candidates offered differing plans to regulate ownership. Former Vice President Joe Biden let it roll on his recently released gun control plan that forces AR-15 owners to sell their rifles to the government or register them under the National Firearms Act, which would require registration, tax stamps, fingerprints and a government tracking for every modern sporting rifle. But wait, there’s more. Biden wants to include magazines too.

The dem candidates are trying to jump on President Donnell's gun control wagon. Too little, too late. Donnell is public enemy #1 and will remain so until he's defeated in 2020.

Trump is trying to lure the Dems into wild excesses of gun grabbing. Unfortunately, even they aren't stupid enough to fall for his little trick. Trump wanted to encourage them to pass something insane, get them all on record in the House, send it to the Senate to put all those Dems on record. It would almost certainly fall apart before it got out of the Senate but Trump, true to form, refused all along to say exactly what he would and would not sign. Because he would veto anything restrictive and hang it around the Dems' necks. Every gungrabbing vote you can get from any Dem in Congress is worth at least $1 million to the RNC. In the Senate, $2 million per Dem.
