Not selling firearms to people on a terrorist watch list is common sense too.

Not selling firearms that can shoot off hundreds of rounds a minute is common sense too.
Yes to all of that.

Unfortunately, maybe because of your two party system, everything becomes so adversarial, so all-or-nothing, so black and white and so lacking in compromise.

It's like people are arguing against their better judgement just because they might be forced to admit they have ideas that are similar to their opponents. And yes it goes both ways.

It makes for a grim outlook going forward because the divisiveness grows day by day.
