Biden so far avoids talking gun reform post-Atlanta shooting

6. Good! ... It's a losing issue

The small vocal gun control group is going to vote blue anyway.
Raising the issue mobilizes the 2nd Amendment folks and generates a lot of unnecessary anger at the Democrats.

Not to mention that most proposals will have little to no effect on gun violence.
Assault weapons ban - less than 500 people per year are killed by all rifles. Most hunting rifles use the same ammo, have the same magazine capacity, and have the same muzzle velocity. The fact that black plastic is more scary that wood is justification for banning a rifle.

Universal Background Checks - Sounds good until you try to implement it. If I loan my Brother in-law a shotgun to go hunting -- does that really need a background check to loan it and then another for him to give it back to me?

None of the proposed gun control measures will affect the use of guns by criminals.
