Everything the Democrats have proposed is targeted towards law-abiding gun owners, restricting what they can own, and placing them in a government database of who owns what. Draw what conclusions you want to about their reasons. I'm not coming up with a lot of benign ones.
If this was really about "gun violence" there would be an entirely different set of priorities.
Mother Jones assembled a list of every U.S. mass shooting from 1982 to Newtown. Twenty years. There was a total of 513 fatalities.
This is about the same number of gun homicides that occurred in Chicago, a town with strong gun controls, just in 2012 alone.
Which of these reflects the real "gun violence" problem?
By the way, you can download the Mother Jones Excel spreadsheet. Lots of interesting information.
I'm also putting up this link again.
