Wed have strict gun control if Progressives created similarly clear narratives like this (VIDEO)

Yesterday I was going to cover the shootings in Florida on Politics Done Right with a show centralized on righteous indignation. I featured instead someone who had a more measured approach which believes there is a better way to get to sensible gun control.

Just curious how it works. I can use some extra cash.

And does plugging the "Coffee Party" help or hurt Democrats?

And I found it deeply encouraging until I realized we are so far away from having enough conversations like the ones Debilynn described.

Also if I understand her correctly, if we became the communities she envisions we would not even need strict gun control.

Thank you for sharing.

Not all lack empathy of course, but too many do have none & it's not just righteous indignation to state it.
Things to think about
Good conversation on both sides of quick fixes and long term solutions
We can use both . Will we get either?
I thought the Coffee Party was just a joke in reaction to the tea party
never knew it was still even around.
