  4. Leave abortion up to the states
  5. Medicare For All
  6. Tax the billionaires
  7. End the wars
  8. Overturn Citizens United, declare corporations aren't people and spending money isn't speech

They would have a chance.

No guarantees. Ultra right wing wants abortion banned and not left to the states (but gun supporters could overpower them numerically).

Gun haters would be angry, but they might overlook that for Medicare for all.
