Politics, not violence, increase gun permits, sales

4. So, according to you, all the people on DU demanding a complete ban are full of shit?

So there's no reason to be concerned (in fear of) about the gun control people trying to sneak another gun ban past us like the '94 AWB?

The Bloomberg's and Joyce Foundation types, along with the "myriad" of DU gun control supporters have no interest in banning so called Assault Weapons again, huh?

The problem is we know from experience you gun control folk just have no self control and are never going to be happy. So why even try to compromise?

Somebody proposes something like a universal background check program that has broad support and instead of just passing it, the gun control freaks in congress and the senate lard it up with registration, another AWB, magazine restrictions etc., every pet project that is even vaguely gun related, until nobody wants to vote for it. (And another million or two AR rifles are sold based on the proposal to ban them)

And of course you have a stalwart group here on DU, that one minute reminds us that "no one wants to take your guns, you paranoid gun nutz/delicate flower/ammosexual etc.". The next, they demand the confiscation of all handguns, assault weapons, pump shotguns etc.
