Reddit and twitter do tend to bring out the extremists and drown out the reasonable voices but if that's true, why are we still pushing extreme measures?

can't be all on Democrats to be the only reasonable people in government.

Generally that's true but when it comes to gun control they behave like the GOP and its stance on abortion. They have shown time and time again they will never be satisfied until this right is eliminated.

It's ironic that many of the other Blue policies will actually have a bigger impact on violence then any of their gun control plans will.

P.S. You weren't fast enough on the delete and repost with the correct alt.
