BY THEIR DOGMATIC DEVOTION TO INEFFECTIVE “SOLUTIONS.” FOR EXAMPLE, EVEN THOUGH STUDIES HAVE FOUND “UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS” HAVE MADE NO DIFFERENCE IN STATES SUCH AS DELAWARE, WASHINGTON, AND COLORADO WHERE THEY’VE TRIED IT, GUN CONTROLLERS CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR THEM AS IF THEY’RE A PANACEA FOR ALL GUN CRIME.
