I agree absolutely. The only problem about this is you have so many groups on the other side such as Everytown for Gun Safety that put out blatant BS and then you have the media pick up that BS and report it as absolute fact.

Agreed. My only point was just that. The immediate defensive positions taken by every special interest group affected by these tragedies makes it very difficult to obtain any progress at all. I think the first thing to do is to figure out how to bridge those gaps such that some type of discussion can be had. As basic as it sounds, I think the best way to go about doing that is just to start really listening to each other.
