...You lefties LOVE to use euphemisms like "sane gun control" and "common-sense gun control" because you know it will muddy the real issues being discussed, and you know that if you stated what you're REALLY talking about plainly, you would never get anyone to agree with you...
Rubbish.
Most Americans who favor of vast improvements in firearms control are NOT in favor of bans.
That's just Right-Wing NRA bumper sticker -caliber Scare Tactics... and those aren't working as well as they used to, are they?
Kondor, excuse me, but you're full of it.
"
Most" people who are protesting are kids that have obviously never read history nor could they tell you anything about the Right to keep and bear Arms
unless their parents are gun owners.
Just in my lifetime, the government banned fully automatic weapons for civilians (and they couldn't find a single, solitary time a legally held full auto was used in a crime.) The government banned the AK 47, Uzi, the FN / FAL and even some shotguns. There is an import ban on the
EIGHT round M1 Garant as well as the M1 Carbine (weapons that were sold by the government through the Civilian Marksmanship Program.) You can't even get an antiquated
EIGHT shot .45 ACP Norinco into this country. They passed the wholly illegal Lautenberg Amendment on the back of an unrelated piece of legislation and they passed the Brady Bill and I almost forgot to mention they passed the Assault Weapons Ban - that failed so miserably, legislators failed to find the justification to keep it.
In all those instances the left has never, ever, not even
ONCE compromised and pass any kind of preventative measure. Adding insult to injury, the government, at every level, has admitted that had they used the tools they already had, the Parkland, Florida shooting would never have happened.
And, instead of the public demanding
WHY the government didn't do their job, they are making this disingenuous argument about so - called
reasonable gun control. No matter how many times you repeat that false narrative about this not being about gun control, the more that people are going to be coming out of the woodwork and exposing you.
IF this were about saving lives, the anti-gun lobby would jump at the chance to work on bi-partisan efforts to reduce gun violence
without gun control. You see, just because you can't get the right to jump onto your anti-gun bandwagon, you could always save lives
without gun control AND still lobby for the gun restrictions. But you won't. You don't care about saving lives. You only care about
control. So quit trying to pee down our necks and tell us it's raining.
