Why we can't have nice things part 4.

6. I appreciate that and I appreciate that we can have a civil discourse even though we disagree.

Yeah, high cap mags are low hanging fruit. But there's a workaround; 3d printed magazines. It is truly 'feel good' legislation. As long as there is a gun to put them in there's no point is legislating against them. The AW ban kinda worked but once again there's a workaround. However an AW is defined the gun makers will tweak it to by-pass the purpose of legislation.

If those who are truly knowledgeable about firearms would negotiate in good faith there might be compromise. Since the gun industry took over the NRA, a once venerable organization dedicated to gun safety and education, there is no compromise. Not one inch. Because of this I have come to the conclusion that those of us seeking to reduce gun violence must deal from the same starting point.

Since the carnage cannot be eliminated we have to diminish it. To do that the best starting place is the lethality of weaponry available. Hence my beginning, end end, point is just get rid of semi auto guns with removeable magazines. You may believe it can't happen. I know it can't if nobody demands for it.

Had gun owners like yourself begun dealing in good faith 30 years ago we wouldn't be having this discussion now.

BTW, lapsed C&R licensee with a collection. I'm not scared of guns, I'm scared of people who can't leave home without one.
