Both handguns and long guns are used to commit acts of violence. If the right wants to rightfully claim "just keep them out of the wrong hands", with the amount of firerarm violence America has, logic would say our current system sucks, because it is not keeping them out of the wrong hands.
I even fear getting shot by an anti masker in public where I live. I've been yelled at for backing away, not even saying anything, by someone who took offense to the fact I simply walked away from them because they were not wearing a mask. I'd hate to run into a disturbed gun nut who also was anti mask.
America averages almost 100 firearm deaths, of all kinds per day. No other western wealthy nation allies comes close to that. So in that context, I think it is a distraction to talk about size or type. In that context I don't give a shit. The issue isn't banning all firearms, the real focus should be public safety and not making it so easy to buy them.
America needs to put public safety over the profits of one industry.
And yet each time you vote ( D ) gun sales increase. That' s a fact not an opinion.
So apparently you REALLY want increased sales.
You have lots of stock in S&W?
Yes, it’s a fact. Because gun owners have bought into the myth that democrats are going to disarm them.
Another fact is that Obama was more friendly to gun rights than Trump, which tells me that gun owners don’t have much in the way of political savvy.
