Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

“Gun control” comes in many forms: the tracking another user mentioned; requiring continuing education or training courses every so often; ensuring that people with histories of violent or suicidal behavior and/or people who have been identified by a certain number of community members as poor candidates for gun ownership (no idea if this is a popular notion, but I would not have wanted 4/5 of the people I knew who later committed violent crimes with guns to have been allowed to own them, and mutual acquaintances have agreed with me that they were not stable/safe people, and it’s always seemed like a good idea, as long as there are safeguards in place to prevent bullying and other abuse) aren’t allowed to own guns; and in some parts of the country, requiring a gun license for using long guns are all forms of gun control. It’s not hard to imagine that 90% of Americans support one of those at least.
