@MontereyJack,
Progressives don't like facts, but that doesn't mean that facts are opinions, nor does it mean that facts are not true.
There is nothing phony about it being a civil liberties violation when progressives impose gun restrictions that cannot be justified as serving a compelling government interest.
You do avoid measures that actually try to save lives, and focus solely on measures that would violate people's civil liberties for the sadistic pleasure of demented progressives.
And you cannot provide any examples of virtue signaling on my part.
