I don't see multiple sides to the position of reducing gun violence.
Study after study has shown and country after country has demonstrated
that fewer guns means fewer deaths.

Carried to its logical end point, your view leads to the inescapable
conclusion that eliminating all guns would eliminate all gun deaths.


That's unconstitutional. 2nd Amendment.
But you can support selling guns to criminals and nutjobs if you wish.
1st Amendment.
Learn about the law before you pipe up.

Since there are way too many people who would be all too happy to
press for eliminating all guns, the NRA serves as an effective
counterpoint to that line of reasoning. I think that if you actually
knew any rural gun owners, you'd find that they are almost universally
opposed to *any* increased gun control measures, mostly because they
don't trust you city/suburban folks or the type of government that you
advocate.

"Rural" is 1/6 of the U.S. population. And you can't speak for them.
And what's with this "don't trust you city/suburban folks."
You're a city-slicker, so that's YOU, pal.

About 95% of the land area however.

Not really. I grew up in a rural area where just about everyone
owned guns. Where I am now there are 10,000 acre cattle ranches just
a few miles from town.

Which is 1/6 of the population, thus they are in the extreme minority.
