text: Why do so many believe the NRA narrative that this is an all or nothing discussion on guns? It isn't. I'm a gun owner and believe there are steps that can be taken to reduce gun deaths. Saying this does not make part of some left wing conspiracy to "take everyone's guns away", but rather it puts me alongside many other reasonable Americans tired of the endless carnage, all looking for reasonable solutions to a gun problem that is obvious to all but those blinded by propaganda and hate.
