because that is the right-wing NRA tactic: repeat a lie or a half-truth often enough, and loud enough, and it becomes fact. The "cold dead hands" proponents are infiltrating this Safe Haven Group because they know that they can get away with spreading lies and half-truths here for the time being. Many of them are recognizable returning pizza recipients, and probable moles from other right-wing sites.

This safe-haven Group was formed for the express purpose of NOT having to debate gun nuts. This Group's founding principles are that the NEED for gun control is a settled issue, and only the methods for achieving solutions toward that goal are to be discussed here.

The fact of the matter is that the majority of Americans, including gun owners, favor sensible gun control laws and regulations in the interest of public safety. The very vocal minority of gun nuts (as represented by those infiltrating this Group) and their 4 million right-wing, Koch Brothers-funded, NRA counterparts will accept no form of sane regulation. Obvious gun nuts are not (and never have been) a constructive part any discussion about our national gun problem, as they ARE a very large part of the problem.
