There is evidence. There's evidence that it doesn't work, at all. The "assault weapons" ban had absolutely zero affect on crime rates, literally none. But we can't let facts and logic get in the way of a nice appeal to emotion.
I can understand your frustration with your fellow liberals, some of their positions are as illiberal as it is possible to be.
