While everybody would want to see less nutters involved in mass shootings, these are by far not the most prevalent gun crime perpetrators.
The whole campaign, while fast to jump the gun, appears to completely ignore what to do about these 97 pct. of gun related crime.
It would almost appear like it's not the security, but politics being the principal issue.

care to show a link to your 97% number?
cause it's one thing when criminals shoot each other with illegal guns and the other thing is when somebody marches into a school and shoots unarmed kids.
and the latter usually with legally obtained guns as in all recent incidents - even when there was strong indications of mental illness that a stronger gun control could have prevented
