I wonder if Snowstalker honestly believes he sounds any less stupid than some militia hoarding guns because he believes the big bad gummint is going to send in black helicopters full of invading federal forces to take away his guns and his freedoms any time soon.

I don't really think most gun control laws are effective, but people like Snowstalker and right-wing militia nuts with their sooooooooo bad arguments make me want to support them.

People that think guns only exist to murder are impossible to take remotely seriously.  


Is there ANY other political debate where one side is so overwhelmingly ignorant of the thing being debated as this one.  Perhaps AGW, but there is plenty of ignorance on both sides of that one (and that's not to say there isn't ignorance on the pro gun side as well, clearly there is, but nowhere near the level of ignorance on the gun control side).


I know I know..."we don't have to know a lot about a subject to know it's wrong and should be banned".....yeah....good luck with that.

It's true a lot of people who want to ban guns tend to be ignorant about them, but can they are any more ridiculous than people who openly state with a straight face the reasons they want to keep guns so they can carry out some type of socialist revolution or because they believe if the population wasn't armed all sorts of black helicopters would start swarming in with stormtroopers to take away their freedoms?
