I’m with you and personally dislike guns to a degree that many find weird but I think the issue is that gun violence is illegal in the first place and so making laws seeking to prevent it is ineffective at best and really just smacks of legislative hubris. I can get an illegal firearm easily, today. I can get an illegal gun much easier than I can a legal one. Most gun violence is committed by criminals. These problems are often denied by advocates for reform, and that doesn’t help their credibility with bipartisan independents wary of authoritarian government.
