(1,390 posts)Trying to answer them here as you asked:
1) Understanding the "nuts and bolts" is not just understanding precisely how what you want to regulate is important, but also understand the actual laws on the books...SOOO much disinformation because cannot discuss this rationally, but instead emotion often gets in the way and facts be damned.
2) You don't have to own guns, but it helps to understand how they work and function...Also, having a disdain for people that do is a disservice to the Democratic party as whole. Not everyone thinks like everyone else on this issue within this party.
3) Again, discussing a mass shooting is a good thing to do, but as always emotional arguments are standard fare for people that either dislike or don't understand guns and existing gun laws.
