I don’t ever want to be in charge. But if I were in charge, I’d make civilian handgun and assault weapon possession a felony. Lock up anyone who defies it. If gun addicts want to keep their toys, they should support reasonable gun reform, before someone like me ends up in charge.

The “good cops” on our side of the gun reform battle are doing exactly what they should be doing: trying to work with gun owners in good faith on gun reform.

But the “bad cops” on our side also need to be given a voice, to provide negotiating leverage to the “good cops.”

Like I said, I don’t want to be in charge, and I don’t want to write gun laws. But if my personal view is that all civilian gun ownership should be banned, except hunting rifles in rural areas and such. And if I woke up President tomorrow, that’s what I’d try to do with gun laws.

The people who oppose any form of gun control should be aware that people like me exist, and they’d do well to negotiate with the “no one is trying to take your guns” crowd. If they refuse to budge, eventually they’ll have to deal with someone like me who *will* take their guns.

There are widely differing interpretations of the Second Amendment, and gun addicts are being wildly overconfident if they don’t think there can be some future iteration of the supreme court that interprets the “right to bear arms” as hunting rifles and muskets only.

Again, the goal is not to ban all handguns. The goal is to make gun addicts understand that these kinds of long term solutions are *on the table* if they don’t work with us on reasonable gun reform.

Gun addicts (not gun owners, but gun addicts) are fundamentalists. And you don’t negotiate with fundamentalists by saying “no one is trying to do anything serious to you, just give us a little bit.” They see that as weakness on our part, and an excuse to not give an inch.

quote:

“But if we talk tough, they’ll accuse us of trying to take away all their guns!”

They’ve already spent a generation accusing us of that anyway.

So we gain nothing by saying “no one wants to take your guns.”

Just say “some folks want to take your guns, better to work with us.”

It’s important for the *Democratic Party* to keep saying “we’re not trying to take all of your guns.” They have to remain politically viable, win office in order to be able to enact gun control at all.

But *we’re* not the party. We’re the bad cops who want to take all your guns.

Public opinion on guns keeps shifting our way. But our strategy of unanimously saying “no one wants to take your guns” isn’t getting us anywhere. And they’re still shooting at us. I’m just saying, maybe it’s time to revise our strategy to meet the moment. We have leverage, use it

quote:

If you think handguns are some sacred right that must be protected in any gun reform, then stick with what you believe in.

But there are plenty of us who feel that handguns are unconstitutional, and we’ve felt pressure to keep quiet about it. Look where that’s gotten us. Nowhere.
