I think that Democrats that think the issue is only not having guns are missing the point and giving republicans talking points. The issues are keeping guns out of the hands of the wrong people and holding gun owners responsible for sensibly securing their guns to prevent thelft.
Unlike you so far, I am a trained engineer with lots of experience. I know that a person can walk into a grocery store and buy innocent items that will allow them to kill or maim a city block of people and animals and plants, without firing a single bullet. If one look at killings and shootings over the last month, all the killers had given off signs that they were set to kill. We need to get better at detecting those signs before people go on killing sprees, because if our only defense is eliminating guns, we have lost.
