If you claim I misunderstood you fine, then clear it up.

My position is what I stated in the OP.

For too long America has focused on profit, and not enough on stability. When critics of the economic right point out the flaws in their logic, we get falsely called commie or anti private sector. Guns are simply another product that a business owner makes, and like any other CEO or owner, that person will seek more of a market and more share holders. 

When media gets stuck on motive, that allows the industry to hide behind "motive" then sell fear by making the narrative about "rights".

So if you are claiming I misunderstood you, then make it clear what your position is.

Do you support the GOP or NRA on gun policy? If you do, then I don't agree. If you don't and you agree with me that more can be done to reduce gun violence, then allowing others to pull you into the trap of other types of violence is what I am claiming you should not fall for.
