The Atlantic magazine looks at opposition to gun control

"Why Can't Democrats Pass Gun Control" is the title of this article
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archi ... ol/620190/

and the article goes on to explain an apparently astounding fact:
The deadlock isn’t the result of the NRA paying off politicians to vote against the wishes of their constituents. It’s much simpler than that: Many people in this country own guns, and millions of them are dedicated voters. And they are what now stand in the way of new gun laws.

So gee, gun control can't get passed because of this democracy thing. Who'd'a thunk it?

They don't want a world without guns, they want a world without gun owners.
