"Nobody wants to take your guns..."
How many times have we heard that. Shortly after hearing it, many of us are quick to point out that there are a number of posters here on DU who want to do just that, only to be met with the reply (or some craftily crafted variation of it) that "nobody on the national stage wants to take your guns". We're inundated with "gunsense" and "everytown", and told they are just after "reasonable" gun regulation.
That line of bullshit ends, now:
Thats the "gunsense" that they want to see enacted in "everytown".
From the horses mouth.

The guns that they are fighting hardest to ban are involved in less than 300 murders/yr.
