"I don't want to move to Maryland," Seegars shoots back. "I want to stay in D.C. And I want a gun." "I want a gun, too, but I can't handle one," Martin says.

BINGO! Liberals don't feel they can handle a gun so no one should be allowed to keep one.

Several years ago (I am not making this up) I spent a weekend with a favorite cousin. She's married to an arch New York City Liberal. Talk turned to guns and his final reponse was, "No one should have a gun. If I had a gun there are some people I'd kill, I hate them so much. No one should be allowed to have a gun."

As I said, I am not making this up.

The fear of weapons is indicative of retarded mental and emotional development.

About what you wrote in post #4, I once read about the "psychology" of gun-haters is that they have this fear that they don't have total control over themselves (and this fellow certainly meets that definition) and might do harm if they had a gun. Also, they don't basically trust their fellow man to do the right thing, hence their dislike (and fear) of firearms in others' hands.
