Why do the people calling for gun control show so little empirical understanding of guns?

Right's game: misrepresent the left as the regressive/extreme left to not have a honest discussion about sensitive issues.

I'm a socially progressive libertarian centrist. I'm not on the Right.

Another mass shooting happens and the age old war of words between the right and left (and libertarians) marches on. To the surprise of absolutely no one, the problem of gun violence finds no solution. Simply enough, what ideas have been offered up by the right/libertarians?

Many libertarians advocate legalizing drugs, to reduce gang related homicides, and to offer alternatives to alcohol, which often disinhibits violence. Better mental health awareness, a key theme in my teaching, is also crucial to suicide prevention.

Your understanding of ‘The Left’ is rather disappointing. You can do better. Unless you’re twittering cynically, which is something I can get behind. In that case: Miller’s endgame: guns blazing war of all vs. all. For freedom!

The Left is rather disappointing. My understanding of them is accurate.

Name one sitting democratic senator or house member who supports either of these. Supporting universal background checks and banning assault weapons does not qualify as 2a repeal. And stating anyone wants to repeal 1a is idiotic.

I've met many college students who want to repeal #1A, and even more who don't want it enforced.
