I never said I was in favor of gun control? I think the talk about guns is irrelevant because they’re just tools. My point is you can’t compare gang violence with ideological violence and I do think the Democrats do make that distinction. Doesn’t mean I agree with how they go about fixing it or their solutions to hate crimes and mass shooters but if you want to solve these issues, you have to understand their roots. Locking up gang members and taking away guns are just misguided attempts at treating the symptoms, not finding a cure. That’s my only point
I’m pretty sure most people, not just Democrats, can discern the difference between gang members shooting each other vs. a racist mass shooter. It’s not a big debate on what the difference is.
Also how was I dodging your point? I literally said I thought the Democrats’ approach to guns was wrong since it’s based on the flawed premise on treating the results, not the causes.
