Gun Control & RKBA

So?

Doesn't make them true, or correct. The fact that information-poor people have an opinion doesn't mean they're correct. Opinions are like bellybuttons; everybody has them.

It's quite simple: if you think an AWB will lower the murder rate, the violent crime rate, or the mass-shooting rate, you're wrong. I don't care how much you "sincerely" believe it, you're wrong. I don't particularly care that you're wrong, but the issue is that you can't keep your wrongness to yourself. You insist on infecting people with it, joining the chorus of people that are wrong BUT ALSO HAVE POLITICAL POWER TO ADVANCE THE WRONGNESS.

Let's face it, the only logical reasons to be in favor of AWBs are either:

To open the door to more gun-control legislation after the AWB fails to deliver on any of the promises that were made about it;

Undermine the credibility of the Democrats on non-gun issues by making them say stupid and untrue things about guns and thus tilting the voters towards Republicans;

Or to push gun owners to vote Republicans to defend their guns.
