2/10: Close the Charleston Loophole:
Each year hundreds of thousands of potentially prohibited people buy guns from licensed dealers without a completed background check. Extend the time to complete one.

Republicans have spent decades trying to abolish gov’t agencies including EPA, FDA, & FBI, pass massive tax cuts for the wealthy & big oil, eliminate minimum wage, slash Medicare, & dismantle Social Security.
Marco Rubio getting honest on the Republican play book: Cut taxes on the rich, use their resulting deficits as ammo against Democrats and an excuse to gut programs like Social Security and Medicare.
