Hello... Moderate Gun Owners. Where ARE You?

[beevul]

5. Verbal slight of hand.

The difference is that there are rules about drunks driving cars to keep Americans safer, but there are few rules regulating guns thanks to the NRA's hard-line policy of "give em an inch and they'll take a mile."

Deliberate or inadvertent verbal slight of hand.

There are rules about drunks driving cars in public.

There are just as many if not more rules about carrying and/or using a gun in public.

The author either doesn't realize it his/her self that they're comparing public use (of a car) with private ownership (of guns), or knows it and hopes nobody notices.

Unfortunately this is not new, we see the same sort of rhetorical gymnastics and muddled thinking (and support for it) far too often.
