The thing is, I can understand people who, swayed by inflammatory media reporting and Bloomberg-funded propaganda, experience an emotional reaction to these various shooting incidents, and immediately think "something MUST be done". I get it, even if I think most of their proposals are useless, or actively harmful, in terms of reducing violence and protecting the innocent.

BUT, I think a lot of people on the "more gun control" side are actually pushing a very specific agenda, which has absolutely nothing to do with "public safety" or "protecting the children" at all. It's an ideological / elitist mentality that says "only WE should have guns, and the common riff-raff need to be disarmed one way or another". This position I have zero sympathy towards, and the only correct response to this, IMO, is "come and take 'em".
