The have to pretend that bringing a plastic picnic knife to school to cut an apple is the same thing as bringing a 6" switchblade to school to stab a rival gang member.
They have to pretend that a person who owned guns since the age of twelve for hunting and personal protection and never used one to harm another human being in their entire life is the same thing as a gang-banger owning guns who only uses them for drive-by shootings, robberies and carjackings.
They have to pretend that law-abiding citizens who purchase moderate quantities of ammo every year for target practice is the same thing as hardened convict who only needs one box of ammo in his entire criminal career.
But we're the ones who are "gun nuts."
After the Newtown massacare, all law-abiding gun owners are to be judged & their rights restricted due to the actions of a lone madman.
After the Boston bombing (and 9-11) we are commanded not to judge all Muslims because of the actions of a few jihadis even though they all read the same Koran.
Strange.
