Because it’s inflammatory and a broad brush stroke across a segment of our population that most of us have direct relationships with on a familial and friend level who we know don’t “not care about gun violence”. They do care. Everyone cares, but the Republicans have aligned to the NRA who have propagandized the concept that any restriction to guns, ammunition, and accessories is a direct assault on the Constitutional right outlined in Amendment number 2 and will be a slippery slope of an eventual undoing of that Amendment…but that furthermore and most importantly that the gun violence problem is not a “gun problem” but a societal problem or mental health problem and so by reducing access to guns and the above we are not effectively addressing gun violence. I AM NOT saying that I personally believe that stance but that’s the breakdown of the debate from their perspective, and if we the democrats want to continue to advocate for solutions we do the problem solving no favors by stating “Republicans don’t give a shit about gun violence”. It’s like the same thing as when Republicans tell us Democrats we want access to abortions so we can kill babies. It’s inflammatory, inaccurate, a mischaracterization of the democrat’s stance, and breaks down all communication related to problem solving.
