Thats another piece of evidence that destroys their "we just want reasonable commonsense..." talking points.

As I've said before, they're far more interested in the means - gun control, than they are in the ends - reducing gun violence. As time goes on, it becomes easier and easier to show it, because it becomes increasingly obvious.

That's going to lead to a real tipping point, one which they will not appreciate.

While some gun control supporters may want to, national gun control organizations thrive off of the violence. It's sick and demented. But they see violence as fuel for their effort to ban and confiscate guns. Case in point, the 2007 bipartisan NICS expansion (signed into law). The NRA and Brady Campaign supported the measure that Carolyn McCarthy co-sponsored. VPC, CSGV, and other extremist gun control organizations disliked the effort and fought it. Why? It contained rights restoration procedures for people who can prove they've recovered from their bout with mental illness. Gun controllers were willing to give up on millions of new NICS records over a clause giving people access to a rights restoration process. Think about how petty that is.

The first step in a prohibitionist scheme is to criminalize whole swaths of people who were not so before.

Everytime.
