Gun Control Reform Activism

What is the best approach to achieving some sort of meaningful gun control? The whole green-tip ban has collapsed and was a needless distraction. I think our focus should be on the closing the gun show loophole and more effective background checks. My own personal focus is that gun owners need to be held responsible for what happens with their guns (see my post above) accidental shootings are not “an unfortunate accident” as these tragedies are often dismissed. It is criminal negligence.

Don’t be discouraged by the likes of billh58. Those comments are almost a caricature of what the NRA says gun control advocates are like. The responses that are; “you don’t accept my orthodoxy 100%, so I am going to insult you repeatedly” is all too common on DU these days. It is painfully true that the signal-to-noise ratio has become somewhat unfavorable here. But there are still people who are interested in having thoughtful and productive conversations.
