Showing Original Post only (View all)I'm still trying to wrap my head around so many staunchly pro-gun folks on DU [View all]
We, as liberals/Democrats/progressives seem to be with the science on things like global warming caused by humans (and such belief means we probably all of us support restrictions on carbon emissions).
We, as liberals/Democrats/progressives seem to be with science on evolution and a host of other conclusions derived from empirical data and scientific method.
So why is it when there are so many compelling studies, statistics, and medical research on gun ownership correlation with gun injuries and death do so many on here vehemently defend the notion that NOTHING should be done to restrict gun ownership or provide tracing of guns and close loopholes. NOTHING should be done according to this group despite the evidence that such actions would result in reducing deaths in this country.
