I've noticed the conservatives recently railing against the term "common sense." I don't quite get it.


That's simple. Common sense was just a sugarcoat for plain gun control, and the common sense legislation would have done nothing to prevent the latest tragedy. Particularly dishonest was the claim that 90% of all US citizens support background investigations, so why not pass this bill? Hell, the NRA was in on the ground floor defining what background investigations should look like. Most gun owners support background checks.

Common sense gun legislation includes crap like "fingerprinting" gun barrels and microstamping casings. The fact you didn't pick up on this makes me wonder.

Because you label radical ideas with term common sense, then you've framed the argument in a dishonest and unethical manner

Common sense penal reform - North Korean prison camp
Common sense demographic monitoring - killing 6 million Jews

People hate the common sense part because it's dishonest.

Common sense universal background checks - gun registration
