“Maybe we could come together on guns if each side gave some,” Schumer said.

Uh, Senator Schemer, sir? When Democrats say they're willing to compromise, it means the good guys (conservatives) give up something they already have, while the leftards "give up" gaining as much collectivist tyranny as they were shooting for, but the change relative to statist quo is always in only one direction. This does NOT meet a sane person's definition of "compromise" (I understand why you wouldn't have known that, don't feel bad)

So, um......no. When "compromise" means you we get to repeal 3 existing collectivist infringements on our freedom, and we call it a "compromise" cause we really wanted to repeal 5, we can talk.

Exactly.

Either that or "You give up something substantive, and I'll give up some of my hot air."
