Okay, I misunderstood the below then.

Same. I don't see what sorting our responses into categories brings to this thread. Maybe r/politics wants to rehash a gun control thread, but I doubt FOFC does.

Just trying to level set based on our Jun 22 discussion. Good thing as it seems I misunderstood some statements. FWIW, I didn't bring up gun control in this recent discussion and I was not the first to respond. I'm pretty sure gun control discussions will come up again (but promise I won't be the first to bring it up).
I'll go ahead and post Brian S and JPhillips for the record in case I've misinterpreted.

It's madness.
