First of all,
1) Why consider "suicide by firearm" gun violence?
2) Why focus on guns when so many other "articles" are more dangerous than firearms. For instance, Transportation vehicles and backyard pools....
3) 50% more guns and 50% less violent crime is excellent news, not the "epidemic of gun violence"
4) Banning semi-auto rifles has no effect, so why call for it again?
5) Restraining order and guns, if 10% of 10% is 1 in 1,000 in 10,000 murder you would save 10 lives. Yeah you saved 10 out 330,000,000. If you call this worthy to restrict a civil personal right such as 2ndA, then may be the anti-gun folks should be muzzled too under the 1stA.
When I read it, I thought the same thing. This is really a plea to his fellow liberals (he admits to being one by saying "we liberals") to be smarter because with their current tactics, they are losing.
