No, they will ignore it because the facts don’t fit their agenda. The year California put in its assault weapon ban there were more people beaten to death by bare hands than were killed with long guns of all kinds. Didn’t affect the pandering for the ban.
So, in the spirit of “pandering”, I expect some liberal congressmen to sponsor a bill to ban bayonets on rifles, as a compromise measure. That is, in their minds, it would be a “reasonable, common-sense gun control measure.” /Sarcasm Off.
