17. See, here we go. First call me a liar because I "seem like a person who owns guns" when I bare my
soul about my personal armory.
There are a number of proposals for real life legislation both from posters to the group and in links to actual proposed legislation.
You're not banned so I welcome hearing about your efforts to curb gun violence. Why didn't you post about your lobby for removing guns from domestic violence situations?

The thread closed while I was replying. I like to be able to respond to accusations of lying-

called you a liar? No I acknowledged that you own guns.
The collection I share with my brother is much larger, from an inheritance; you would probably be quite interested in it as the vast majority is over 100 years old or replicas. Our prize piece is a 1873 Winchester in 32 - 20 Winchester. It is in mint condition so I do not even think of shooting it.
And actually if you check the banned list you will see I am on it. I had the temerity to ask a former host a question regarding the SOP.
If you care to check my posting history in the gungeon you will see that I have proposed legislation and mentioned some upcoming gun control votes that should be supported by those who own guns as well as those who favor gun control.

the superintendent does say shootings are up overall but I wonder if there's any break out for self defense or is every shooting incident lumped into a total?
It is far too early to leap to any conclusion or one factor for the low numbers, at least for most people, but I do notice something that definitely did not happen.
So, how about them Cubs?
Chicago crime and murders at historic lows
Chicago police say 2014 ended with historic lows in crime and murders.
Police said they recorded the fewest murders since 1965.
Still, the last murder of the year was recorded yesterday, when a masked gunman followed a tow truck driver into a tire shop office and fatally shot him on the South Side.
The man, identified as Reginald Jones, was taken to Jackson Park Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
