Subject: Re: She Had No Face
Most folks who advocate for stronger gun control genuinely believe that significantly reducing the number of firearms in society, and more stringently regulating access to the firearms that remain, would reduce shooting deaths.

Some do. Others are like some posters here, who just want to confiscate them and be done with it.

But it's a common internet malady, dodging the actual argument by retreating into the assumption that people don't have the motives that they profess to have

Except that he's more or less confirmed that here in the thread.
The problem with the gun control/confiscation crowd is that's the hammer in these discussions and all the real problems out there are just little nails.

I *am* willing to be charitable: If I'm forced to surrender my 2nd Amendment rights, which right of the gun confiscation crowd are they willing to negotiate away? I'm thinking they could safely lose their 4th Amendment rights. After all, if you've got nothing to hide, what's the problem?

Fair's fair.
