It is disingenuous to create or reinforce a skewed public perception, and then use that perception to create policy. It's impossible to create good policy from that basis and it is a disservice to the country.
If what we all think we know is true, regarding the link between armed, law abiding citizen, (especially CCW permit holders) and a reduction in violent crime, then to promote policy that undermines 2A protection amounts to reckless endangerment of the population.
