On Gun Control: Common-ground, commonsense safety legislation

I have a good record of voting for gun commonsense safety legislation, but despite these tragedies that happen time and time again, when legislators step up to pass commonsense gun safety legislation, the gun lobby moves in and tells the people they're coming to take away your guns. And, they're successful at it.ÿI would bring the gun lobby in and say we've got to change this. Where can we find common ground?ÿWe believe in the Second Amendment, but let's find common ground.
