I know the prevailing American opinion is to fall in line and allow any and everything to go unchecked until a tragedy actually occurs (and then usually ignore it still), but assigning ignorance to the banning of murder weapons strikes me as far more objectionable. But again the gun debate in particular is more about bullying via aggressive personal attack than almost any issue in the current American political landscape...except voting. Anyone who doesn't own/fervently support the right to own any and all the deadly weapons they want is anti-American, those who choose not to vote are anti-freedom. It's important never to actually man up and talk honestly about things in this country though, our collective values have already been decided for us and they're mandatory. Maybe if gun nuts spent half as much time on educating their own on how to responsibly own a safe, reasonable, appropriate civilian weapon as they do on barating non-fanatics as weak anti-Americans, we wouldn't be at the precipice of a national crisis...as usual. But by all means, a hobby is more important than other peoples' lives.

What makes you think gun nuts aren't involved in educating people about gun safety?
