What he said:
"but I'm not anti-gun. I think soldiers, the police and certain other law enforcement officials should have guns. Civilians, however, should be required to demonstrate a good reason for having firearms."

really means:
I'm not antigun. I think various govt agencies that can be politically controlled should have them. I also think I should have them as well. However, the guy next door shouldn't. He can't be trusted. I'm completely trustworthy though b/c I'm morally superior.

What he said:
"We should go to great lengths to keep guns out of the hands of children, criminals and insane people. All guns should be registered. And all gun owners should be properly trained and licensed."

really means:
We should kill or permanently imprison anyone who doesn't think 'gun control' is right. We should have the power to snoop in their everyday affairs w/o restraint. This is reasonable b/c these are dangerous people. Further more children should be indoctrinated w/ the anti-gun message early. Then, later in life, they'll follow the party line w/o question or thought. Those very few squeaky clean who can still qualify to own a gun should be registered and required to continue to jump thru endless hoops. If this doesn't discourage them then we'll make more laws to make them criminals. Those of us who are morally superior should be allowed to own guns w/o restriction. After all we're very important people.

What he said:
"No number of gun-related fatalities or serious injuries is sufficient to deter the N.R.A. from its fanatical course."

really means:
Any gun related injury or fatality is an excuse to make sure common people are prohibited from owning guns.

What he said:
"Instead of fighting to end this threat to the public's safety, the gun lobby and its allies in Congress are pushing legislation that would protect the practice by granting special immunity from liability to gun manufacturers and sellers."

really means:
I have no facts to back my position so I'll write amorphous feel good tripe to make those doing the right thing look bad. If I were in charge I would do the right thing for myself b/c I'm morally superior and more important.

What he said:
"The N.R.A. Web site and its enemies list (which looks like nothing so much as a broad cross-section of America)"

really means:
Only commies and enemies of the US are on this list. How insensitive of them. Why can't the commoners see the error of their ways and join us of superior ideology?

What he said:
"the new group and its site are inviting people to volunteer for a spot on the N.R.A. enemies list. Ah, free expression."

really means:
I think the NRA and its agents should be outlawed b/c they've making me look bad. I agree w/ Bill Clinton that the avg American has too many freedoms. We should limit them severely. What they really need is a ruling class to guide them thru life. We, the liberals, are the right choice to be that ruling class b/c we're mroally superior.
