They betrayed us!!! They're playing on our fears!!! They are using terrorism to push through their questionable agenda. Yeah, terrorists normally go to the gun shop and purchase guns on the open legal market. The same with criminals and gang members. How gullible do these jokers think we are? Unfortunately, they are right about a great many citizens.
The problem is, of course, that when such a law is passed, the predominance of armament will be even more so on the side of the terrorists vs. the law abiding citizens.
Let me see, the MO of a terrorist is box cutters, suicide bombings, flying planes into buildings. Can't remember any of them just picking up a gun and shooting.
