They're nuts, but why? How do you break through? It's essential but maybe hopeless. They are not stupid obviously, but logically they should realize AR type weapons are not the choice of most criminals - by far. Virtually all guns seized after crimes are illegally obtained handguns. High profile mass AR type slaughters are an exception, with insanity a common factor. Most gun murders are committed by blacks in a few ghetto counties. "Assault Weapon" mass shootings are typically spectacular, white on white, with relatively few victims. ( Chicago weekend.) So there is a complex racial dynamic both in the shooters' behavior and the grabber's subconscious evaluation that miss-focuses their fears. I assume the buzzword "universal background checks" means private gun sales or trades or gifts will become illegal. When Walmart stops selling certain boxes and Virginia goes full retard, how can ordinary people who like to shoot hope to remain law abiding citizens? We have to reorient these folks somehow or they will vote us to jail.
