  Please for the love of god can we stop framing everything in the world as "conservatives vs liberals."

    Perhaps there's some insight from cognitive science which explains why humans may have a tendency to do this.

  That means universal background checks before somebody acquires a gun. New "Harvard research confirms a long-ago finding that 40 percent of firearms in the United States are acquired without a background check. That’s crazy." What's actually crazy is that for existing background checks, the Obama administration has prosecuted less than one-seventh of one percent of felons and fugitives who attempted to buy handguns... and didn't recapture a single fugitive even though they could know exactly where and when they would be (to pick up the gun from the dealer). That's crazy. So, how is performing more background checks that won't be acted upon going to change anything for the better?
