"some" gun safety legislation. But when you talk specifically about a bill they ALWAYS have a problem with it, thereby preventing them to support it. This happens again and again with state legislatures both good and bad. I have had numerous exchanges with the gun folks and when push comes to shove, they say "if only x was changed, I could support it." But that never happens.

It's ridiculous. Not EVERY legislature in EVERY state can get it wrong (whatever "it" is) all the time! Yet this is the case. I would challenge any gun rights supporter here to name ONE gun safety law they HAVE supported...there is always a catch...somewhere...
