Pit thread for Martin_Hyde {He has been BANNED}

I see you are only interested in perpetuating intellectual dishonesty, good to note.

That simply isn’t true. I can be found promoting reasonable gun restrictions, at least as far back as 2012 on these forums:

Note that thread was for the Newtown shooting itself–I am significantly more pessimistic about the politics of passing gun laws now than I was then, I actually assumed in response to a bunch of dead grade school children we would have changed our laws at least around the edges. Considering not only did that not occur, but that largely the Republican party continued to win on this issue politically, I generally think Democrats should focus their efforts on more limited things for the time being simply out of political realism, but I don’t disagree with the actual ideas I posted back then, just the practicality of them.

I also was unaware back then that most of our gun laws right now are poorly enforced, which colors how effective I think such laws can be.
