(29,932 posts)you say focus on them, specific groups. For the sake of discussion say focus means the same thing for demographics & gun owners. I'm very curious as to the criteria used and it seems others are in anti-gun tunnel vision they didn't catch it but I'm sure you could agree it isn't 100% of demographics or "specific groups" that are responsible, someone would be alienated right just as if focus was at gun owners who also aren't 100% responsible put you make a point we need the gun owners votes. I'm sure demographics help Democrats win elections more than potentionally alienated gun owners. Just leave the gun owners alone, go after the demographics seemed odd.
As to violent crime in certain areas, I agree much larger problem "guns are bad" isn't going to solve but focus on the "demographics" as if the demographics already aren't focused and are already alienated.
Guns specifically, it does help to focus on gun supply, where do they come from, how? Say theft is the where. From who how? Gun owners & gun shops? Well... there is something that could help with that but don't want to alienate gun owners & gun shop owners. In any case, it does pay to pay attention where and how the guns. Demand is key too, ironically it is the demographics in those concentrated areas that need a gun for protection than gun owners that don't live in those areas.
