1. Regarding the top three, we work very hard to foil any attempt to ban those things.

Our efforts have been poor on the second one.

2. He's not making a point about our efforts

he's making a point about the right and their efforts. They insist banning is the answer to everything they don't like until we bring up guns.

3. Because that is the right-wing mindset - "ban anything we don't care for".

The elites on the right aren't all that crazy about guns, but toe the line to keep working class people voting for them. It doesn't help that some people keep spouting to ban all guns from ownership despite there being no legal way for our Government to do that. It just fuels inaction.

I would like to see Connecticut's gun laws nationwide. Semi-auto rifles are mostly banned from sale and all purchases require a license, proof of training, and a background check. People still own their firearms and use them lawfully, but it's a lot harder to get them which dissuades people who just want to harm someone quickly.
