Welcome to the gungeon, we've got fun and games

The original thread title while this was in GD was "Guess what? DU has a forum for gun related discussions, and this isn't it", but that's a pretty silly thread title to use in the gun discussion forum now, isn't it?

1. It's not simply about gun rights and gun control

it's also about whether or not the Democratic Party should end it's support for gun control

3. Yeah, it's good that you're telling us. BUT...

There is occasion to post things that might fit better in other forums, in GD. Especially if there's enough interest to sustain a handful of threads.

As long as it doesn't become a habit.

7. Hear, hear.

Or perhaps: "There, there.". (Or now: "Here, here.".)

(I see that the issue is resolved -- both posts are moved. -- Good!)

And, perhaps, the political issue to consider is whether Democrats should rethink their position on further federal level gun controls. (This is rather different than "gun controls"-"no gun controls".) Or we can continue on with a large portion of this country associating "Democrat" with "anti-gun", (even when this is not the case), hoping somehow to "enlighten" these "misinformed" people -- or not giving a damn about the votes of many people for whom this is the issue.

Collapsing complicated policy issues down into simple yes-no choices is playing right into the trap (of dumbed down discussion and a false framework for that discussion -- a framework that "frames" the issues the neocon way, or to their benefit) laid by the neocons over decades.
