Gun Control & RKBA

If they were actually as compassionate as they signal, they'd be able to define what an "assault weapon" is.

They'd be aware that gun violence is HALF of what it was in '93, and would be intensely interested in investigating WHY.

They would have googled on "gun show loophole" and discovered what horseshit it is

They wouldn't poison the discussion with phrases like "Guns everywhere for everyone"

They'd come to realize that you can't buy "anything you want without a background check over the internet"

They'd be as concerned about the many young men killed in Chicago every week as they are in those killed in mass murders -- and they'd be aware that mass murders make up only a small fraction of the total of killings

They'd check their egos once they discovered that there have been a number of bona-fide liberal criminologists and scholars who refuse to sign off on Democratic Party "solutions"

But no. The party regressives are too arrogant to admit that they haven't done enough homework to speak with any authority on the gun violence issue. "Media education" is sufficient.
