There are two certainties following nearly every mass shooting event: Cable news television will have its programming schedule set for the next 72 hours, and a significant number of gun control advocates will reveal they lack even a basic understanding of the items they wish to regulate.
The first certainty is to be expected. After all, if it bleeds it leads. The second certainty is more remarkable.
Its remarkable that so many proponents of stricter regulations appear to be generally ignorant of not just the minutiae of firearms, but also the basics. Its also remarkable that this ignorance continues unabated, even after several recent mass shootings.
Journalists Adam Weinstein and Zack Beauchamp defend the generally ill-informed, claiming some in the pro-Second Amendment camp prefer to bully rather than educate those who dont fully grasp the topic.

It’s the old line,
If they were not serious they would be funny.
Okay, they are still funny.
And should be mocked on a regular basis.
I still kind of feel bad/sad for the knuckleheads that believe them.
Or, want to believe them no matter.

Try applying that same level of understanding back at them in the LGBQTGIF debate and see how they like it.

I’m sure you’re all over it. He is right on with the left’s ignorance though.
To: Renkluaf
Sorry but it’s done every day by the left: Climate Change; DDT damages bird eggs; we’re all at risk of HIV; raising taxes grows the economy; and others I can’t think of right now. When you think about how much of our national 'discussions' are shrouded in ignorance, it is depressing.
