And most Americans support additional restrictions on access to guns like background checks, red flag laws, and banning assault rifles. Unlike abortion, those rights are being taken away from the legislators due to a horrible interpretation of the second amendment
And pot. And legal protections for workers in the workplace. Still, the Dems seem like weirdly ineffective standards bearers for all this, plus the Senate and gerrymandering.
