The Morning Briefing: So Many Gun Violence Solutions, So Much Stupidity

Weekend of Massacres: let's review all the gun violence solutions

Were you ready for the massacre aftermath and analysis coming from the media/Democrats/"conservatives" funded by the left? A cornucopia of think-pieces, editorializing-masquerading-as-news, finger-wagging and general peacock-strutting for a runway of virtue on social media and cable "news."

We have solutions! Sadly, all these solutions, that "do something," all involve infringement on your rights and have nothing to effectively address gun violence. First up, let's ban assault weapons. Do you know what happened during the 10-year life of the Clinton assault weapons ban? Columbine. Did we stop/reduce gun violence? Nope. Also complicating this plan is that there is no such thing as an "assault weapon." What exactly makes something an "assault weapon" as opposed to a non-assault rifle? (a barrel shroud?!?) Can anyone tell me what special features make an "assault weapon" more deadly than a garden variety rifle? I can't find an answer to that from the zealous crowd that wants to stop you from owning them.

Thanks Liz and good luck with your next endeavor.

Solutions that are designed solely to punish people who OWN guns. They are the ones the left really hate.

Easier than actually having to do something.
