That's just it, they are not pretending to care about the poor. They are mad about the conditions in inner city Dem controlled cities constant cries for more gun control.
If that were the case, we would be seeing this all over. We aren't. That however is my opinion as I have not looked up any stats on it at all.
Because it IS a partisan issue. Please point out who is trying to ban Ar's etc? Who is trying to make a dad giving his son a .22 without a background check a crime? Who is trying to take away peoples rights without due process? It is not the GOP. Most are doing it for partisan political reasons, period.
So you are saying the Federal government should take over for local and state government to improve conditions in the inner city? I think the states would have something to say about that.
That is a lie. They did try to pass gun control laws that were sensible. The Dems shot them down along party lines. So much for that majority...

Well as we see that's wrong.
I'm not saying it should be a federal issue. I'm saying that, in part, it IS. It's hard for local politicians to get control when the federal government has destroyed their prison rehab. That is, assuming I believed they even wanted to. I don't. They're pretty much in this together.
It's not a partisan issue. Neither party is doing anything to address the real problem, even though it's been stated clearly in your own OP. They're playing football with guns to stop the hoi polloi from noticing that they're just sitting there reeling in the money from places like the NRA.
And you are doing exactly what they want you to do, letting them distract you from the issue, using it as nothing but a cudgel against the donkeys they've trained you to hate, and turning this into some partisan football match while communities continue to degrade.
They can save their crocodile tears. I don't wanna see whatever gun bull**** has been in Congress lately, from either party. I want to see where ANYONE has proposed to bring back rehab, bring back healthcare funding, and bring back funding for inner city schools.
I wanna see where the hell the NRA has been lobbying to bring these things back, to give some basic respectability to gun culture. I wanna see where the hell the NRA has ever done anything but advocate for things that will increase their bankroll.
I do not care what stupid gun bull**** is in Congress, by either party. I do not care that "the Dems do it too." If you SEE IT, why are you just using it as a talking point and making excuses for why no one is doing it, letting this revolve around whatever stupid gun bull**** they're distracting you with?
I don't think you do see it. It's in your OP, and you still don't see.
But I am not going to let you distract me with gun football. You posted the problem in your OP. What the hell are the NRA, or any of their supporters, doing about it?
