Tell me again who is leading on gun control?

I think it is fair to consider partisan primaries as a failed experiment.

At this point I think the gun lobby is not as powerful as it once was

It is almost dead.

It's lobbying budget is maybe 1% of big tech.

The NRA could be bankrupt soon.

The hang wringing about the powerful gun lobby is a lie, or maybe just plain ignorance. But it still sells to some audiences.

Apparently, Ohio is considering it.

And perhaps one that continues to fail worse each year. Let's remember how close we were to a Sanders dem nominee, and of course let's remember the plurality path of Trump in 2016.

Arming more school staff (by lowering firearm training standard for school staff even lower) — is this what you call “leading on gun control”?

We've already addressed this earlier in the thread.

It just leads me to question your definition of “gun control.”

[Mik]

What's yours?

Weaver or Isosceles?

Mine is generally you hit the target in the intended location.

But the real problem is illegal guns.
