Just Move Along, There's No 'Common Sense' Here

In an article from the Seattle Times hyped by WA Ceasefire (who just dumped $50K on bus ads) and Brady Board member Joan Peterson, they are pushing for a mandatory trigger lock law due to a recent school shooting:

Yes. They really are this ignorant.
