...........who refuse to accept what indisputable law enforcement stats reveal -- which is that it's the fucking drug trade that's responsible for most of the gun deaths in this country. (edited to add: and suicide -- which they quietly blend with total gun homicide)

They keep trying to convince the public that concealed carry/open carry, "assault weapons", "gun show loopholes" etc. are to blame.

And the "bank" I'm referring to are the thousands of gullible/subservient minds that they're able to add to their 'collection'. The only problem is, it's getting harder and harder to control the narrative given the availability of facts on the net, and the fact that every day honest citizens watch Controllers get their asses handed to them by pro-rights citizens who are able to back up their assertions with links to FBI data. (for example)
