The proposed gun law changes including background checks, awb, and magazine limits are supported by a majority of voters. Even a majority of NRA members support universal background checks. So why would anyone have to convince a delusional fringe group that values "cosmetic features" above human life.
There is no way to be polite to people that deny that fewer guns means less gun crime, if we include comparably developed nations.
There is no way to be polite to people that deny that larger magazines means more bullets fired before having to stop to reload and becoming vulnerable to counter attack.
Gun regulation gains nothing from trying to convince these gun worshipers.
The only reason to interact with these people at all is to counter their continued deceptive propaganda.
