House Judicary will hold an emergency markup on 8 gun bills on Thursday

Good.  Get these GOP f-ckers' votes on record.  Even when the bills inevitably die in the Senate, do the same thing there and then run ads on it.

Gun control just isn't a popular issue. The midterms will be about inflation, and Dems trying to deflect from that and go after some side issue will look very obvious.

Gun control just isn't a popular issue.

Demonstrably untrue:

Do you think there should or should not be a ban on the manufacture, possession and sale of semi-automatic guns, known as assault rifles? [2019 Aug 15-30]
Should be 61%
Should not be 38%
No opinion 1%

The midterms will be about inflation, and Dems trying to deflect from that and go after some side issue will look very obvious.

It's possible to walk and chew gum at the same time.  And referring to gun violence as "some side issue" is extremely crass.

Stuff like background checks barely passed Nevada and failed in Maine in 2016. And those are lean Clinton states. Like OSR has stated before, the polling is one thing but when it comes to votes at the polls it doesn't translate well.
