Gun Control & RKBA

There is a difference. The NRA, and the other gun rights organizations, are made up of millions of dues paying members. They are grassroots. Also, the NRA was started by a couple of Union generals in the 1870s. The Brady Campaign are just a few rich people. They would not exist without the Joyce Foundation. If you go to, say, an NRA convention you will find people of all incomes and walks of life. Go to a Brady Campaign fundraiser, you will find all rich people in black tie. Also, they do not use facts, nor do they use honest statistics. When they say "children" they include gang shootings of up 25-year-olds. They lie often. They drag up the usual logical fallacies, usually ad hoc and appeal to emotion.

Look at free speech and Europe and Canada, or the acts of the extreme left and right here.

That's not how rights work. the State has to prove they aren't. BTW, you are using a logical fallacy.

Part of the same problem. Part of the drug problem is the gang problem.

I gave you my list. It will not only reduce "gun violence", but also reduce all violence. My pet peeve about "gun violence". Whenever I see Brady or Bloomberg use the term it tells me that they don't care about violence, it is really about guns using a term that appeals to emotion. IOW, they are busybodies and authoritarians who don't like guns. To be rather blunt, I don't think they care about dead people unless it serves their purpose. They dishonestly lump gun suicides with gun homicides and call it "gun violence". That tells me that 48 percent of all suicides and 40 percent of all murders are nonissues to them. They don't care because they can't be used for propaganda.

Yes, you have a poorly written UBC written by Mike Bloomberg's paid lawyers and lobbyists. Everytown or MDA is 100 percent astro turf. Watts is a former PR executive for Monsanto and Wellpoint before she opened her own shop. She is a Bloomberg employee, as were all the collecting signatures.

We don't have a gun problem, we have a gang problem. Spree murders, which happen everywhere, are very rare. That is why those, and gun accidents, make nation wide news. Peoples' rights should not be restricted based one black swan events. They are unpredictable and unstoppable.
