Gun Control & RKBA

(Formed in 1974)


It formed a coalition for "no attempt?" Forgive me, but your argument is specious. I would also point out this earlier group morphed into the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. Seems it wanted to ban so-called "assault weapons," too. (The usual metaphor here is the "streets will run with blood.&quot

Again, you need to be clear on what your ultimate objectives are. Stopping or reducing "violence," or reducing "gun violence," or reducing "mass murders (by gun, of course)," banning of only handguns. (As a theoretical compromise would you oppose banning of "assault weapons," shotguns, and rifles?)

Again, I favor finding out what works to reduce gun violence AND violence in general (this HAS HAPPENED) even as gun laws have been liberalized and the number of guns has increased. If CelebroPunk mass murders concern you more, then there needs to be more attention to hardening sites and increasing security. I then propose in the old-time liberal/progressive manner looking at the societal conditions which contribute to the bulk of murders (which receive short shrift in DU, in favor of that most addictive of social policies, Prohibition).
