It may appear farcical to some but I find it is on the money. The fools who support the gun control agenda because of their good intentions are fools nonetheless. Observations such as you have outlined exposes their true agenda.
I believe the vast majority of people go to great lengths to avoid the appearance of being ignorant or uninformed. However, those who support gun control agendas go out of their way to display their ignorance.
People who say that a person was killed by a gun will also say that a person was killed by a drunk driver. However, these same people would not allow themselves to appear so stupid as to suggest that a word was misspelled by a pencil.
I would add a conundrum of my own. What agenda subscribes to the logic that because the people cannot be trusted we need to write laws and the people will abide by these laws because the people can be trusted?
