You are right.
When someone mentions banning or controlling guns, there is the usual flurry of indignant responses citing freedom, the Constitution, defending your home, etc. The argument gets deflected and muddled, as intended, so that the specifics of any gun control suggestion get lost and when the smoke dies down, no progress is made. This all by design.
However, when someone cuts through the smokescreen and gets to the specifics, like your post, the silence is, as you say, deafening.
3 weeks ago, I made a similar
post in another thread. Again, no responses ...
The Gun Lobby strategy is clear & deliberate: take it to an emotional place and obfuscate the argument until you have either worn down your opponent or rundown the time available.
