10. The Gun Nut arguement is that handguns kill the most people every year,

Rifles used in 248 murders, shotguns in 286

If the idea is to address gun violence, it would make sense to address the weapons used most often.
A rifle is more deadly but rarely used

Those who think guilt must be proven will be unlikely to support the bill while those who think innocence must be proven will be likely to support the bill.

It is a blatant display of corruption. What is the matter with these people?! Corruption is the answer.
America is not operating as it should.
