41. FFS if you care about gun legislation you should learn this very basic difference

Seriously, this is absurd. I'm for a lot more gun control than a lot of the "gun" part of this board is, but this is exactly the attitude that makes me throw up my hands and say it's no good trying to come up with anything because the most impassioned voters can't even be bothered to learn what they are legislating about. (Side question: is there any other subject about which you prefer to legislate from a position of ignorance?)

Back when I was volunteering for Obama in 2008 I was actually called to my face "mentally ill" because I didn't think the assault weapons ban was a good idea. Once the interlocutor was finally forced (by our district manager, in fact) to look up what the assault weapons ban actually did he came to the conclusion that he didn't support it either. But he had still called me "mentally ill" for the same position he took once he read the damn bill.
