Irrelevant.
If you are killed by something not "designed" to kill, are you somehow less dead?
If that's your only justification for assessing the analogy as deficient, then you're blowing smoke.
The 'designed to kill' line is not making any points here.
To rephrase your question, "That's all you've got?"

I think everyone here has read your 'I hate the NRA' rant and knows it well. I personally think your anti-NRA campaign a distraction. Discussing some lobbying group when the Senate, Presidency and many state offices are held/controlled by the Republicans is a waste of time. mitch magatconnell needs to go.

If the NRA goes away will they take mcconnell along with them?
Are you sure they will?

There are for sure some single issue voters who would vote (D) except for gun issues and maybe just over the AWB issue.
