I like the 'Red flag' idea - it's been implemeted in Spokane as well as Seattle, and probably in other large Washington cities - Olympia, Bellingham, etc.. Of course, we also have a lot of pedestrian-auto conflagrations at intersections up here, and too few traffic cops to monitor speeders.
I, personally, would like to see Biden call a Camp David Summit with his doctors, Democratic Party leaders, Senators and Congresspersons to address his electability. As much as I credit him for his good work and very successful presidency, I worry that he has reached the end of his ability to effectively campaign - or function as President. The 2nd Amendment issue is not going to be resolved unless a dramatic change happens in congress (both houses) and the Supreme Court, and that is going to happen at the ballot box, not at Camp David.
Biden's continued insistence that he will only step down if God tells him to (maybe) or his doctors tell him to (doubtful) is only delaying the inevitable. He could pass the torch now, with dignity and honor, or be defeated in November. There are several democrats in the wings who would - or DO - poll better than Biden: Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Gavin Newsome to name 3, and I bet Denny has another handful in mind. If the Biden cult keeps him in the race, then his legacy will be the election of Donald Trump and the undoing of everything Biden's administration has accomplished, and the rapid dismantling of America's experiment in democracy.
I supported him early on, when I thought his detractors were simply playing the age card. But after the debate, and two live interviews (Holt & Stephanopoulis) showed him to be unable to complete sentences or maintain focus through an entire thought, it became clear that his Whitehouse Team had been keeping a dark secret. He's quite adept at reading the telepromter, but thinking on his feet and communicating his thoughts effectively? Not so much.
Now that we know, we must circle the wagons around democracy, not Biden, and make winning this election the goal of democrats, progressives, liberals, fence-sitters, middle-of-the-roaders, the undecided, the youth, the Hispanic and Black voters, and everyone else that will listen.

The Great American Idea depends on it.
