What if politicians supporting gun ownership were actually shot?

This is not a professional criminal, I highly doubt his gun was illegal.

Laws like assault weapon bans which we already had in the 90s in the form of the Brady Bill (which was allowed to expire by George W. Bush) will simply quash the manufacturer's need to produce heavy quantities of such weapons. This is good. You need to think on a macro level, and stop focusing on the individuals and newscycle incidents providing you with anecdotal evidence. Without doing so, you're not really even discussing policy.

A new ban like the prior one does two things. People who already own them and don't brandish them irresponsibly, the lawful type, will find them to be valuable antiques one day that they can be proud to own or legally sell at auction. Over years and decades of such bans, the volume of such dangerous weapons that find their way to the streets (or Trump rallies) for reckless or illegal use will diminish considerably. If you care, at all, about lowering crime stats consistently, this is just good policy. And it doesn't, in any way, diminish the significance of the 2nd Amendment for sportsmen, home protection or registered concealed carry use.

Corporate greed drives NRA policy, and nothing else. If they can spread fear and sell 100 million more sexy scoped semi-automatic guns with high capacity magazines, they will. But that will always bolster the amount that will fall into the wrong hands, permeate the culture and increase futher mass casualty incidents.

Democratic lawmakers understand this... probably many Republicans, too, but only they are too afraid to actually campaign on it since their party is a joke of travesty where their whole agenda is unpopular with thinking people, and so they resort to courting pretentious macho knuckle-draggers who live out in the sticks. These folks are essentially still confederates, whether we acknowledge that or not, since they don't actually conceptualize themselves as part of the urban—or often not even suburban, communities in America. I don't mind that they don't wanna play ball... they can live however they like, but it's ridiculous that we allow them to so disparately dictate policy and over-represent the power of their vote where society does exist. The life and safety of immigrants driving taxicabs, or changing motel bedsheets, or attending inner-city public schools are far more valuable to me, as a Dem, since they stimulate the economy where people live and are more affected negatively by a influx of weapons manufacturing.

No matter how many gun laws you get passed, guys like him will keep on doing what they do. Laws mean nothing to them.

That was an accident, wasn't it? I think he was firing a prop gun at a movie site. It was not his gun.

She is an interesting case, isn’t it? She claimed to own guns, but we don’t know what kind of guns she owns. She said she wanted to ban “assault weapons”, though did not give much details.

It looks like she just wants to get elected, say things base on poll results. Most things she says are ambiguous and light on details I think to please maximum amount of voters, and let them use their imaginations.

Did anyone find out what kind of guns she owns and from when, it is a real mystery here.
