2. Gun Control has lots of "Polls" and "Studies", but not much in the way of actual progress ... ever

No shortage of Billionaire funded "studies" and "Polls", always showing how everyone agrees with them.

But when it comes to actually doing anything about it, legislatively or judicially in the real world or even here on DU, all we see is online whining in GD or LBN by the same 5 or 6 people, claiming they are a majority. Well, that an occasional hide of a gun owner post and the decade old ominous threat of, "the tide is turning" on this issue, but it never quite does.

None of the loudest "spokespeople" for gun control ever seem to start petitions to repeal CCW or the 2nd amendment, nobody ever seems to get around to going to town halls to speak out. If they did, I'm sure it would be trumpeted loudly in multiple forums.

Much easier I guess to just complain about the evil NRA's stranglehold on Congress, than actually do anything with all that 90% "support" they claim to have ... plus Bloomberg's Millions of $$$.

I guess words are as far as their "Activism" commitment goes.
