re: #333 Targetpractice

Note those are the numbers for an assault weapons ban. WP/ABC has 88% for universal background checks, while Pew has it at 85%. Slightly lower but similar numbers for a national registry. Even Reid acknowledged that an assault weapons ban is unlikely to pass in the House. But that does not mean all gun controls proposals are DOA.

No, but it means they will be so full of holes that nothing truly effective would pass. (Not that we even have a consensus on what would work.) The next school/theatre/mall/church shooting will proceed on it’s culturally-imposed schedule.
