The problem isn't the guns ~ it's the people!
Maybe this woman needs to be introduced to Al Gore - otherwise known as Exhibit A for why it is not a wise idea for a politician to get a reputation as a gungrabber.
I really do wish the idiots would take the advice of the NYT. Call our bluff morons. Go ahead.
It is obvious that the writer wants gun control for its own sake. If an Angel from Heaven came down to tell the writer that gun control would do nothing for ‘gun violence’, she would be deterred not a whit. From her perch in Manhattan, she looks over flyover country, and sees armed citizens uncowed by the Federal Leviathan, and that makes her sad. She wants them disarmed and cowed.

Go for it! They will either fail to pass the legislation and look weak, succeed in passing the legislation and get destroyed in the next election, or succeed in passing the legislation, retain power in the next election (because the GOP may still be led by the clueless McRudy national socialist “moderates”), and BITS.

I can name a real myth in the matter, and it's one most gun control zealots have bought into hook, line, and sinker. It's that the NRA is the sole focus of the effort to maintain the basic human right of armed self-defense. That without evil NRA propaganda the 90 million gun owners in the country would see reason and accept the diminuation of this human right. The author is a fool if she thinks the Democrats can cross this minefield unscathed. Let them try it and see.
It's like "Charlie Bit My Finger" on the national political stage.
