As a result, all of the major Democratic presidential candidates have built gun control policies into their platforms or have staked out their positions on the stump.
Most of the Democratic contenders have a few gun-control positions in common: support for universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, and so-called "red flag" laws that would allow police to confiscate guns from persons deemed dangerous to themselves or others. |

"Republicans point to the Second Amendment and perhaps a self-defense shooting."
Perhaps? PERHAPS?

"[A] CDC study conducted on data from 1996, 1997, and 1998 has been uncovered. The study, which was never released to the public, shows approximately 2.46 million DGUs per year."

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
