I don't think DU should accommodate views on the gun issue that are more in line with Donald Trump than Hillary Clinton.

and as a human being she's obligated to defend human rights.

But I see lots of Controllers trying to ban weapons in common use (a sentiment expressed by your avatar, for instance).

In the end, none...not a single one, of their "common sense" measures would have prevented the murders or crimes committed by people with guns. Sooner or later they will have to come clean and admit their "common sense" approaches are really about taking rights away from everyone

Americans who exercise their right to bear arms are a minority in this country and the ones who don't understand the need for gun regulations are an even smaller minority.

When the United States passes laws with firearm restrictions like the UK and Australia, gun nuts will only have themselves to blame for not promoting responsible gun use and ownership.

Any of the mass shootings or murders in the last 100 years?

You want the elimination of the 2A rights GUARANTEED in the constitution.

Not that Controllers have much respect for the 1A, either (or the 4A or the 5A or any other right that proves inconvenient).

You're dreaming.

In the UK or Australia? Congress can't even pass UBCs, which have broad public support. There's very little support for any sort of handgun ban:

He does look a little Putin-ish!

...first amendment rights.

It's pretty slow in the ol' hugbox of indignation these days, though.

This is the defacto pro-gun group, whether the pearl clutchers like it or not. If you ignore the drive-by spammings, it's actually pretty decent.
