Watching from outside, imho the American gun control issues are hampering cooperation in more important areas.

I know you consider it a very emotional issue but compared to tax reform, lgbtq rights, racism, employee rights, homelessness etc, it's not worth getting stuck on.

Saying this as someone who lived in countries with both high (although not US level) and low gun ownership.

Yeah I'm not a single issue voter on guns. If the guy in this thread was a serious candidate they'd have a good shot (no pun intended) at my vote, depending on the alternatives and other details.
