    This is why I have serious issues with how the Democrats are falling all over themselves to try to disarm me :-)

    My state, Democrat-controlled, just banned so-called "assault rifles" this week with a particularly silly set of laws. For instance, several rifles I have that have been in the family 100+ years are now "banned".

    So no, not kidding.

    I assume those older family items could be grandfathered in (arghh). One of the best things about democrats is that they are not republican.

    I had some issues with the way the regions were identified, but Politico ran an article called, "Gun Violence Is Actually Worse in the Red States. It's No Even Close." It leaves room for speculation and or criticism.

    At least the Politico article is honest about its stats including suicide in “ gun violence.”

    suicide by gun is not a huge area of concern for me.

    I'm sure you also noticed the stats and charts that separate out homicides from suicides, too. But you can totally discount the whole article if you like to just look at one thing.

    It was sort of a hokey way of looking at things, but still interesting.

    What do you find hard to believe?


    That Democrats are working to take away reasonable people’s reasonable guns?


    Or that Republicans will put up a fascist regime that bae will need a gun from which to protect himself?

    I would think you’d be all over idea number two.

    Do you think assault weapons are reasonable guns for the general public to have?

    How do you define an "assault" weapon?
