The American Obsession With Firearms - Being Held Hostage By Gun Nuts and Fear

1. Ah yes, the ultimate conversation stopper. YOU ARE A CONFISCATOR YOU GUN GRABBER YOU!11!1

Prohibitionists can't be trusted! Camel's nose under the tent! It's just the start, coming for our guns is the end goal!

I'm sure that somewhere at sometime the idea of taking all guns has been floated by some extreme .0000001% of the anti violence movement. Ok I got that. But on the other side of extremes is a group of people who think elementary schools should teach shooting skills to six year olds. Part of that fringe thinks it's okay to let a 12 year old girl fire a full auto UZI and that didn't work out so well. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2014/09/02/girl-who-accidentally-shot-her-instructor-with-an-uzi-said-the-gun-was-too-much-for-her/?utm_term=.f594d0f7c563

The argument is so skewed that the middle of the road gun enthusiast routinely employs the end-or-days argument.

I, personally, have given up on the effort to include them in the conversation. Fuck 'em. Let the vast majority of reasonable people, including most NRA members and actual gun owners pass legislation and then shove it somewhere the sun don't shine. They will proudly declare defiant 'civil disobedience' by hiding in the closet with their banned AR15 and being arrested as soon as they wield it in public.

There'll be room in the justice system as soon as the Bundy Bunch is moved into the general population.
