The willful ignorance saddens me. The vehement opposition to information that could mean you believed a lie is counter productive. The extreme antigun propaganda is just as bad as the garbage pumped out by the NRA. Sorry but even liberal news isn't 100% accurate when it comes to guns. I get downvoted and trolled every time, every where I try to explain what the assault weapon ban in the 90's did and did not do. It literally banned no guns at all, just specific parts of the guns. My father and i bought an ak47 and an ar15 during the ban legally but some people's feelings simply cannot be changed by the truth. They always resort to the argument that gun violence was lower during that time but correlation does not equal causation. We, as a country, we're doing much better at pretty much everything compared to now but they ignore that because it doesn't fit their narrative. The best part is that I'm all for better gun law, and I hate the NRA. My issue is that we cannot move forward without understanding where we came from. If you believe ar15s were completely banned and illegal to purchase during the ban how could you possibly understand the data about lower gun violence at the same time and what caused that. What caused it to go up now? It has nothing to do with the ban going away. I don't want to argue, I just want to educate and then we can have sensible discussions and hopefully, from that, better laws.
