16. re: We need to stop calling it "gun control"

We sure do. Not only arms dealers but many pro-restriction folks as well. The word control is a lie. The only real control for humans is self-control. Having laws termed as "gun control" gives those in favor of restrictions the idea that laws will stop people from being violent. They play into the hands of a lot of politicians. The job of your political representatives is to be instruments of their constituency. However, IMO legislators have the responsibility of adding wisdom to the will of the people.

The primary use of laws is to provide a criteria in court to convict a criminal. Laws against murder and violent personal attack aren't called homicide control or assault control. Of course honest people will avoid breaking laws. Those folks have self-control.

I advocate most these days for universal background checks. One reason for that is that last I checked background checks on private sales (non-dealers at gun shows, neighbors, relatives and unknown folks meeting on the Walmart parking lot) are illegal in 28 states.

It's a business, of course it's about cash.
