Attempts at shaming only work when you have credibility with those being shamed

11. False (and borderline slanderous).

All gun owners at least on this board are interested in is guns, gun rights and obfuscation.

Bullshit. Lots of gun owners on this board have expressed advocacy of numerous reasonable gun control measures. I've actually worked to pass a new gun control measure here in Oregon (universal background checks). Your assertion is transparently false.

Moreover, basing future gun control policies on mass shootings is ridiculous. These shootings are hugely mediagenic...but represent a small fraction of gun-related homicide. Given that the factors behind these different categories of shootings are very, very different, the best ways to prevent them will (obviously) differ. Even calls for banning "assault weapons" would be largely useless in preventing shootings (just like it was with the original AWB) because these weapons are used in a few hundred homicides per year (as opposed to about 11,000 for common handguns in non-mass-shootings).

I also suggest you don't place too much reliance on the "there are fewer gun owners" meme. There are almost certainly fewer...but by nowhere near the amount a couple methodologically-dubious studies might have you believe. In today's political climate, gun owners lie to researchers...trust me on that one.
