Gun control is tied to politics.  It is one of the evergreen subjects of American politics.  As soon as you legally purchase a gun you become a part of the system that blames you for every mass shooting.  It doesn’t matter if you think that it is only a certain caliber or type of firearm that anti-rights politicians and the public is after or not.   What do they want? It is not the assault rifles.  It is not the large capacity magazines.  It is not the firearms used in the crime.  It’s...
