Guns don't kill people - vaginas do?

12. This is it, folks. Don't screw it up.

I see this among a lot of my gun-owning friends. Same for me. I support registration and some regulations on mag capacity. I even support moving semi-auto's to the NFA registry.

If we keep this in the middle, around stuff that actually keeps guns out of the hands of dangerous people, you won't lose a shitload of voters along the way, and we'll get something meaningful out of all this effort.

Not something like the 1994 CAWB that was easily worked around and pissed off consumers/voters. But something that can reasonably make inroads in keeping felons and people adjudicated mentally ill (at least temporarily), and people with restraining orders from possessing firearms. Something that corks the straw purchase path to guns moving directly into the hands of criminals, or over the border into Mexico. Something that can actually save lives.

I'm not opposed to any and all regulation, and neither are my friends. This CAN be done, without the threat of political fallout at the polls later on. I don't know anyone that isn't currently willing to meet in the middle somewhere on this. Nor do I know anyone on-board with the rhetoric coming out of the NRA of late.
