Senate Republicans have demanded changes in the weak gun safety deal that they agreed to a week ago.

They are dragging Democrats through a process of bad faith and blaming them for the resulting lack of agreement.

I think Democrats should refuse to agree to a compromise starting from their last compromise. Instead, they should say,, "We made a deal, and we are still ready to accept it; but if you now reject it, we will have to start over from the beginning and see if we can make a deal."

In the future, they should refuse to be dealt with in bad faith in negotiations. Being desperate for a deal is the path to a bad deal.
