Gun Control & RKBA

"I don't like 32k deaths per year because we can't get control of the situation."


Nobody "likes" the 32k deaths per year.

But it isn't 32k deaths a year "because we can't get control of the situation". Roughly 20k of those are suicides. Preventing suicides - if one is honest about caring about them - requires a solution tailored for the root causes of suicides, not for "gun suicides".

The other 12k are homicides, which require a solution - again if one is honest - tailored to the root causes of those homicides.

Notice that in both cases I said "root causes" rather than "attack the instrument". The usual suspects, are interested in attacking the instrument almost exclusively, which basically bars them from residence in the "honest" camp, and self locates them into the gun grabber camp.

It is what it is.

"The hurdle of the 2nd amendment makes banning guns near impossible"

That doesn't seem to bother them. They continue to do everything they can to burden those who wish to exercise this particular right, to the point that it becomes so difficult to exercise that it may as well be banned. See the demanding moms protesting the opening of a gun store in Chicago, where all sales are background checked, for example.
