   Yeah, let’s grossly oversimplify yet another issue and paint people with the caricature brush in order to draw out the partisans into sniping at each other again. That helps, right?

   No, we totally understand the difference. Bombs are form of “arms” designed to kill vast numbers of people, and the supreme court has ruled repeatedly that it is perfectly constitutional to outlaw them. High-capacity magazines are also a form of “arm” designed to kill vast numbers of people, and it is perfectly constitutional to outlaw them as well. My understanding on this is much more accurate than yours, Scott.

   Twisted thinking there Steve. It’s illegal to make bombs, and in certain places illegal to even mention the word bomb. It’s illegal to make bomb threats. The law didn’t prevent someone from making a bomb and killing people.

    that would be nice, but it is the partisan special interests (the NRA) which is preventing any meaningful debate

    You certainly give the NRA a lot of power.
    Maybe you can illustrate how the NRA prevents meaningful debate.
