That's Debatable

 I listened to last night's debate on the car radio because I had to pick the Mrs. up from the airport. I heard a lot of lost opportunities, but then again, hindsight is what it is.

I noted a singular absence of the "single issue" from that back and forth, and seeing as how so many millions will be voting based on the right to keep and bear arms, I fully expect it will come up in a future verbal cage match. As such, I want to get this advice to the president in now (and since he will most likely never see anything I write, I hope those who have his ear (do these guys, really?) tell him something similar and that he listens):

Don't compromise. Don't accede that "red flags" are something we should look at. Don't cite bump stocks as an achievement.

Don't take fire out of bellies.
