"That's because gun control isn't about public safety: It's advocating for criminals pure and simple. Not one of those anti-freedom groups pushes for harder sentences and reduced appeals on criminals, not one."

I think that you are only seeing parts of the picture. Both gun control and refusing to hold criminals responsible are part of the larger mindset of not holding anyone responsible, because all "evil" is caused by the "capitalist" system. Anything that helps to "bring down" the "system" is an advance to liberal idiots. They worship at the alter of Castro, Mao, and Stalin.The only people to be held "responsible" are those who support capitalism, and being "held responsible" means punishing them in any way possible. It doesn't matter if it is illegal, immoral or destructive; all that matters is that those who oppose their coming to power are hurt or hindered.

I've been in the NRA almost two decades now. Too often I see pro-gun groups being bogged down by clip sizes, caliber of weapons, and do they look like a military weapon.

The whole issue comes down to behavior. I think the liberals engage in these arguments for the same reason a magician forces you to pay attention to his one hand--don't look at what he is holding in the other hand.

We need to ask the anti-freedom groups why they don't support tougher laws for criminal behavior. Do many guns have an effect on crime? The liberal argument would be: But even a legal gun owner might be robbed; his guns taken for use by a criminal. But missing is the fact that the criminal made a deliberate decision to break into a house and steal guns.

Is my reasoning simplistic? Yes it is. But often the simplest reason is the correct one. Occam's Razor says: All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one.

Maybe the simplest solution for criminal behavior is to more effectively punish and control those who engage in it.
