19. If they are, they are remarkably quiet about it.
No TV documentaries, PSAs, poster campaigns...

That's why communities have implemented NO SMOKING areas and SPEED BUMPS.

And why there are laws against armed robbery, assault, and murder. Notice that neither cigarettes nor cars are banned.

You think that is a class war?

Absolutely.

GUNS are made to kill.

What is the relevance of that to the issue of preventable death? Are gun victims therefore deader than car-crash victims?

Who recommends ZERO GUN CONTROL?

No one on this forum, as far as I can tell.

How would you define "liberal vs. progressive" on this issue?

I meant to say "conservative vs. progressive." I believe that the right to private gun ownership is a progressive value.
