If a Martian landed on Earth and wanted to quickly determine how dangerous an area was, all he would need is a quick review of local gun laws: the stricter the gun laws, the more gun violence there will be. It is almost as absolute as the law of gravity.
How, then, can it be "common sense" to adopt the policies that have made Chicago; Washington, D.C.; and Detroit human target galleries? Democrats argue you have blood on your hands unless you join them in making all of America into the violence-free paradise that is Chicago. It is absurd nonsense.
The only thing that would make it more absurd would be to demand that all schoolchildren be equipped with argyle sweaters to protect them from gunfire. Democrats would probably argue for that if they could get away with it, but it might make it too obvious that they are unconcerned about the safety and protection of anyone except their own ruling class. Certainly, mandating argyle sweaters for schoolchildren would be a more rational policy than universal gun control laws: it would not make things any better, but it also would not make them any worse.
Why, then, do conservatives and Republicans (not synonymous terms) almost invariably respond to such absurdity defensively? One can only suppose that, confronted with such angry, shrieking hysteria, conservatives are trying to mollify a crazy person rather than reason with a serious person. Enough already. The dramatic rise of stark violence, including mass shootings, is a deadly serious issue that calls for sober and thoughtful discussion and analysis, based on facts, evidence, and history. It is time to demand accountability for enacting serious policy proposals that have a track record of actual effectiveness rather than scoring partisan talking points atop the pile of victims.

The perps vote democrat, they must be protected.
“If they’re treating people who have guns this poorly, just imagine what they want to do if the people are disarmed.”
When seconds count, the police are only an hour and 18 minutes from helping.
The police are racist murderers and can't be trusted. You don't need a gun because the police will protect you.
Laws for thee but not for me; Hunter Biden has never been charged for his felonious false statements on his application when buying a handgun in 2018.
Everyone needs to wear diapers because some people soil themselves.
