[Vision2020] Happy gun violence day!

[Tom Hansen]

Mr. Rumelhart -

Although you will certainly avoid answering my query or, at minimum, dance around any conceivable response . . . 

In addition to our tirelessly expressed desire of preventing the killing of innocents, what other "agenda" do you assign to us "tired old progressives" as we attempt to ban the possession and/or sale of semi-automatic assault rifles and/or high-capacity ammunition magazines; the tools applied in the aforementioned killing of innocents?

What benefit would we "tired old progressives" realize in the pursuit of this imagined agenda?

Seeya round town, Moscow, because . . .

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill 
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."

Far more people are killed by blunt objects, sharp and pointy objects and flesh and bone objects then are killed by so called assault weapons. News stories such as the ones you cite are merely a convenient backdrop for the promotion of a long standing progressive agenda.
