Gun control is the admission by the left that human life is worthless. As long as their agenda moves ahead, any number of lives, rights etc are fine to lose. 1+1=2. The numbers are there to back it up. More guns = fewer innocent deaths... and so that would take away a talking point. In fact, the left has reduced innocent life itself to a talking point.
That is the point that name conservatives with mics and podiums need to get out and harp on. That they will not is their own admission in complicity. Bottom line, they know this and still refuse to say it out of PC fear. Period.
Ayers postulated that a significant portion of the U.S. population would have to be offed for his socialist utopia to take root. Cant remember if it was 25,000,000 or 25%. Either way, a boatload or two. Consider that most of his targeted population probably have some riflecraft background and equipment on hand, the final number might be a bit higher.
