3. Sadly, your 'bad science/bad religion' explanation is right on the money.

While claiming allegiance to a political party that holds the verdict of empirical evidence sacred, we go 'full hypocrisy' on the gun violence issue. This while insisting there there is little/no political fallout from our dishonesty, denying any dishonesty exists, or putting forth the "argument" that the fallout is worth the price given the "moral correctness" of the intellectually and morally bankrupt positions. Given that Mother Jones has published an article by an author who essentially says precisely what I've just said, and other left-leaning media sources like Salon and Vox have published articles questioning conventional "liberal wisdom" on gun control, it becomes quite dishonest to dismiss these points as right wing talking points.
