Perhaps. But many of them might just be capable of observing the direction things have been heading over the years and making clear minded interpretations of the data.
But here is the political reality.
Republicans are never going to support gun control. Democrats, regardless what they believe, have come to the conclusion that gun control is the poison pill of politics. They have to carry "red" states in order to win the White House and keep a majority in Congress. They are not going to do that if they back any form of gun control, no matter how reasonable such a law may seem.
Now, that is just little tweaks in the law. Imagine what would happen if they supported an all-out ban on guns, or the (justified IMHO) repeal of the outdated 2nd Amendment. It would be political suicide. They would never see the White House or control of either house of Congress for the next 50 years. Besides, all those blue dogs and moderates they persuaded to run won't let it happen. They would vote against it on principle.
That's reality, folks. It just ain't gonna happen. Your guns and mine are safe. So, relax and enjoy the security that comes with that knowledge.
Thanks Buster. The right wing has a better propaganda machine than Hitler had.
OOP's sorry.
