Gun Control & RKBA

Most people who are regulars here seem to be of the FDR/LBJ stripe, probably unlike a large swath of people, including those on DU

The reason why good discussion cannot occur on the politics of guns is because most discussion from a "control" perspective are prohibitionist in outlook, and in the language that outlook employs; that the "other side" is morally reprehensible; that any and all attacks and proposals are thereby justified. This is abundantly clear to virtually anyone who drops in to see the... "discussion."

Most here expect and rather good-naturedly deal with the vast categories of spew, emit and bile brought here. (I think the GunzIssue must be an agreed-upon glory hole where any and all garbage can be brought in within full view of everyone, up to and including the Ads.). But after several years of this, two perhaps unexpected results have occurred:

1). The "Gungeon" is by any reasonable measure where pro-2A argument is sound, tight, well-documented and rather clever.

2). The control/ban side has diminished. Even its allies have to some extent walked away from the argument -- perhaps even the issue -- after realizing it is grandly miscast and can have no practical positive impact on social policy.

For generations we progressives have toiled, sometimes unsuccessfully, to resolve the many social ills of our society, and all we get is some gun-control tee??
