I still find the reasoning behind your fierce opposition to the demand for gun control mostly incoherent, and you think it's ludicrous that I and other dimwits - probably including most international experts in the area - see a link between the US gun supply and homicide rate, and simply can't comprehend why you and the US right dispute the need for such reform. Let's leave it at that.
BTW, is anyone on the US left is opposed to the current movement for gun control, beyond those who want to preserve the unrestricted right to gun ownership for use in the revolution?
