re: Why do liberals want to ban guns in America?

Honest opinion from a moderate who owns guns. Yes there are some extreme Berkeley types who want to outright ban guns. Most have probably grown up in an urban environment where they think there isn't as much of a need or demand.

The vast majority of Americans do not subscribe to this belief, but I think most support limited regulation. You get into slippery slope argument saying background checks lead to gun bans. I own 12 guns and support the second amendment but I am not totally against background checks with mandatory gun safety for new gun owners.

This guy would have been able to purchase guns legally and pass all checks so much of this will done very little for this situation. I do think being dismissive to those who are nervous about guns creates an environment where sensibility ends on both sides. The NRA has done a great job pissing off sensible people by becoming ultra political. I stop being a supporter about 6 years ago when it was obvious they are just stoking fear to sell guns.
