Largest Gun Study Ever: More Guns, More Murder

51. You have a rich history of public service.

And I thank you for that.



Nonetheless, we each of us are our own political animal and everyone is the singular expert in their own experience.

I dare say no one of us can say that they better represent "progressives" than another; there are too many varieties and stances on different issues.

Perhaps progressives in America, and particularly those in larger cities and on the coasts, have a solid history of favoring very strict gun control, and I think you would have to agree that some would like them banned altogether.

I'm no fan of handguns, but I do feel quite strongly that we are becoming a police state and that's not a good time to surrender any of our constitutional rights.

Instead, I support more uniform gun laws, closing of loop holes, background checks for every gun purchase, basically what California has had for years but not what they are trying to pass now, which goes too far, IMO.

So I'm not really sure where our opinions differ, CTyankee. We both support restoring the safety nets, single payer, education, reversing the shift of wealth from all of us to the 1%.

The difference is that I don't see enough happening while I see so much activity trying to legislate guns out of existence. We are going to differ on that one, I guess.

Take care and thanks again for sharing some interesting professional history!
