Was there anything specifically you wanted to discuss?

...time, money, attention and work expended to make aspects of gun ownership into crimes which are amply demonstrated as not needed and therefore, counterproductive distractions.

"gun control" is much more about control than guns.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority…the Constitution was made to guard against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

The horrifying, tragic fact is that the political capital we squander on "gun control" kills -- because it cedes power to GOP policies which IN FACT kill U.S. citizens in a number of ways. I have little doubt that we'd be living in a nation with single-payer health coverage if we hadn't pushed away voters with the dishonest horseshit we've been serving up for decades now.

And of course we're handcuffed in trying to get at the root causes of gun violence. ("War on Drugs", poverty, opportunity inequality etc.)
