    Semantic bullshit designed to drag out the conversation instead of addressing the problem. Nobody has gloves in their glove compartment but everybody knows what the glove compartment is.

    Multiple attempts have been made to close this loophole and have been blocked by the pro-gun community, rendering background checks optional – if you don’t want your background checked, buy privately.

    If you want to make effective regulations, then you need to understand what regulations already exist, how guns work, and how loopholes are exploited.

    There is no gun control legislation that the pro-gun crowd will support. It doesn’t matter how minor, or how perfectly written.

    Otherwise, you get another AWB that bans a bunch of cosmetic features that really don’t matter.

    No problem, we’ll just ban all sales of semi-automatic weapons and firearms under a certain length (such as revolvers). After 20+ years, it’s clear the pro-gun crowd has no solution.

      You don’t have to convince the pro-gun crowd. You have to convince a political majority. Starting that fight without knowing what you’re talking about matters.

        I just have to wait. One day, the millions of school children that Republicans, gun owners and the gun lobby sold out will have to send their own children to school.
