Didnt Obama vote against the state law that would have provided a loophole to a local ordinance? Isnt that supporting local autonomy?

...given your statement directly above, how in the hell is that ignorant then?

I was speaking for myself..I dont represent the American people and I have no idea how many would agree with my example.
The ignorance is in the generalization.... "that the majority of americans that support 'reasonable' gun control show themselves to be more afraid of what their fellow americans COULD do instead of what actual criminals ARE doing.". I would love to see the data.
And even if you have the facts to support your conclusion.....whats wrong with Americans supporting or opposing gun control for reasons that differ from yours?
