21. Gun control advocates often rely on emotion. ...

It's a very effective tactic. Facts and statistics can be labeled "NRA talking points" and dismissed.

A high percentage of gun violence in the United States is the result of gang warfare in cities such as Chicago. Better enforcing existing laws and punishing those who break them would help reduce this problem but gun control advocates largely ignore this perhaps because this solution is expensive and doesn't create the emotion that "banning weapons of mass destruction" does.

Of course there are many other logical ideas that would reduce gun violence in our nation, none of which involve banning firearms. I find it sad that the gun control advocates totally ignore them.

Arresting anyone caught illegally carrying a firearm in public and sending them to jail rather than giving them probation would reduce gun violence far more than banning AR-15 style rifles.
