I would agree with you if the gun control measures they promulgate actually produced the control they seek; they don’t. Gun control doesn’t work, dangerous people always work around the laws and the honest people they seek to control are already armed. Gun control is a total political and practical loser and only serves to cost the democrats votes. And yet they persist. Abject stupidity explains it.

The gun control measures do actually produce the control they desire. By banning private sales of firearms they are in actuality creating a firearm registry. Does gun control have the effect they say it has? No...of course not, but they reasons they use to sell all of the policies are never the real reason for the policy. You might say that gun control loses them votes but they have been very successful in passing it regardless of it losing them votes. Clinton blamed the loss of the house and senate during his administration on the Assault Weapons ban, but it didn't stop the Democrats. Nothing ever stops them grabbing for more and more power. It would be nice to think they were just being stupid but history demonstrates otherwise.
