Leftist politicians know that most of their constituents will take the feel-good position of “let’s ban guns” without giving the real issue a single thought. They’ll wring their hands and tell themselves that were it not for guns, evil people would be doing charity work for the poor. It won’t occur to them that if evil people couldn’t get guns, they’d just build bombs or concoct poisons or any number of other things those intent on doing harm will find.
