They are not. Democrats, as well as Republicans do not know what they are doing about gun control. The thing is though the Dems (most that I know of) do not support one of the most evil organizations on the planet earth...The NRA. They are like the Legion of Doom in my opinion.
I am what I call a Democrat but I am also pretty conservative. I sway many ways on many issues. Guns...come on. Its 2022 not 1776. F#ck the 2nd amendment. I totally understand people want to own guns. Sure. A assault rifle? Multiple assault rifles and body armor and lethal weapons?! No way. If people need that they are the ones who need mental help.
Now kids are getting slaughtered while going to school. Something has to change. We must try to make change. Will the Democrat's do it? Maybe, I am not sure. I know the Republicans and Trump loving psychopaths and the far alt right wing will not.
You ever attend a gun show? Go to one. Go see what goes on there and see the type of people that go.
