(8,747 posts)"The scientific evidence when it comes to gun violence" is that it is an attempt to change the debate from one of personal rights to one of public health, so you can do an end run around the legislative system. And gun owners are not going to let that happen.
Since you and your fellow Gun Prohibitionists know you will never get the blanket ban you want on semi-automatics and / or handguns passed through direct means, that means your only other method is to completely re-frame the debate on other terms, which you hope will be more favorable to your side.
In that respect, you are just like the RW Anti-Choice people, who know they can not ever get their "Human Life Amendment" passed, thought they have trying since Reagan. So they have been chipping away at the Right to Chose by incremental and underhanded stealth tactics for the last 30 years. And unfortunately they have been very successful. We don't plan to let you repeat their success.
