What happened to liberals pushing gun control?

At one point, they pushed it rather strongly. Nowadays its hardly ever brought up.

If the anti-gun crowd is so right, if their argument is so sound – why pull back from the issue?

Perhaps they just enjoy watching the NRA types rant?

Aside from a federal law prohibiting those who are baker acted from posessing firearms I think we have all the gun laws we need.

I thing they are working the angle of outlawing lead bullets for environmental reasons. They seem to use the EPA to whatever end they want.

Liberals moved to big cities where we have control. Connies want to shoot it out..fine.

Have at it.

40,000 Americans die of gun shot wounds every year.

Bears are armed. They eat humans too.

Riots kill people too. Gay sex kills people too. Drugs kill people too. Stupidity kills people too.

We could do better at enforcing our existing gun laws. Kind of like immigration issues.

It's a loser. IMO guns should be controlled and the argument for gun control is sound. The issue is emotional, not rational and likely cost Al Gore the election (well that and the USSC).

Liberals moved to big cities where we have [gun] control...

...and most of the crime involving guns. GO figure.

40,000 Americans die of gun shot wounds every year.

So why arent you pushing for more gun control?

The reason the right to bear arms became one of the first "rights" is the reason why it should never be eliminated.

You mean 'it's a loser'...politically?
Why does that matter?

 

[uscitizen]

Because all on the left are not like fox teaches you M14?

Becuase our law makers decide based on "the flavor of the day" and what will likely win them the next election.
Thats why.

I think they got derailed by the cooling of global warming.

How is this response relevant to the question I posed?

Was gun control not at one time a big political issue pushed by the left?
Is the argument behind the push for more gun control not sound?

If the argument is sound, why stop pushing it?

 

[uscitizen]

And basically more people are concerned about jobs than anything else right now.

Yep the left could be more like the right and keep pushing things but never actually doing them?

"Right now"?
What about the last 10+ years?
When was the last 'big push' for more gun control by the left?

They first need to bring Totalitarian rule closer to the goal post before trying to disarm us again.
