The funny thing is that Progressives understand the fight for increase in rights. They live for it. So why is a gun owners rights different? Can they at least start to understand the intensity of the desire to protect their rights. Can we start the dialogue there?

So, this is a socio-economic argument, not a gun rights argument? Interesting data.
Yes, I believe it is. And pardon me if I seem cynical (I think you’re familiar with people accused of cynicism), but I believe Democrats push the gun narrative to scare the public and secure votes just as Republicans do. They don’t want to fix it. They want to use it to win.

I believe that it is a very human trait to use fear to win arguments. This is why looking at our unconscious biases is so important. I think also that some Dems really see too many guns as THE problem too, no? It feels logical - more guns, more violence.

Seems logical except the numbers don’t correlate, and then the Bloomberg anti-gun lobby cherry-picks “peer countries” to intentionally mislead on that point. I’m a data person. Anybody proposing legislation should be good at analyzing data. Plus, guns are inanimate objects.

When someone’s shooting, you call the cops. Why? Because they’re “good guys with guns” right?

The "good guy with a gun" argument doesn't work for me. Usually you are trying to figure out how to get out of there even if you're armed. Also, if everyone has a gun, I don't know who to shoot!

And that's where you're wrong, Steve. There are FIVE components to gun violence in America. Anyone not willing to deal with ALL FIVE is lying about wanting to seriously deal with them. They're all here: http://www.silversmithproductions.com/ExamplePoliticalWriting_RRFive.html …
