7. "been here for awhile and know better than to engage the usual suspects."

The emotional need of Controllers for epistemological closure probably explains why they're such miserable failures in the political arena. The inability to debate around the water cooler leaves them defenseless answering even the most basic inquiries of the Undecideds. Meanwhile, those who defend rights are capable of offering retorts and do so readily and without being contradicted by their Controller counterparts.

The only way gun control advances is by circumventing the democratic process. Hence the late night passage of the NY-SAFE Act, the Colorado senate's disgraceful shutting out of rape survivors, EveryLie.org patsies sent to testify but unable to answer basic questions without having to phone a friend, etc.

Gun control doesn't just fear guns it resents free speech, freedom of conscience, equal participation, not to mention their willingness to dispense with other rights enshrined in the such as 4th, 5th, 6th and 14th amendment rights.
