Gunsplaining

Liberals are sick of being corrected when they are wrong about guns.  "Magazine, clip, WHATEVER!  You are just getting us in the weeds as a distraction!"

Yeah, our side is pedantic.  We cop to that.  But if you want to write policy about a segment of firearms available, or not, to the public, you really do have to know what it is you are talking about. 

Of course, we could just use that to our advantage.  "Ban and confiscate all Bloomberschutzen and Donderblitzen assault rifles.  MUCH more dangerous than any other firearm out there."  "Great, what about ARs?"  "Dude, we just banned two whole classes of guns.  Compromise a bit." "Oh, ok."



Yeah, like that tactic would really work for long...

The real reason they don't want or need to learn firearm minutiae is their true goal doesn't really require it.  You don't have to know what select-fire means, or semi-auto, if your true goal is the banning and confiscation of all civilian non-law-enforcement firearms, right?  Easy policy proscription.  No loopholes.

They just can't say that out loud because they figure the vast majority would be against that and it will prevent their blue wave from happening this November.
