And heart disease kills more people than cancer, so shall we take that off the table?

Corn Syrup and Automobiles both, individually, kill more people than guns do…

So gun-control is pretty much a non-issue.

Heh, thanks. I suspect it’ll get worse before it gets better, over there.

No, I don’t think you’re wrong at all. Which is what frustrates me to no end - *no* one is trying to take anyone’s guns away. There is a huge middle ground (as in probably more than 80% of the population) with your usual outliers on either side. Yet somehow the Democrats got successfully labeled as gun confiscators. But no elected Democrats of any consequence are trying to do any such thing.

But FWIW, I would support a ban on sporks . . .

I’ve got nothin’ about gun control, but thought I’d mention that I stalked–er, followed–you here from a recent dKos thread in which you fought the good fight.

Gun control. Okay. Am I wrong in thinking that the vast majority of people who would call themselves ‘pro-gun’ support -some- sort of limit to access to, say, SAWs and RPGs and such? Ignoring the political stuff (which is kinda begging the question, as my point is that this is almost -all- political stuff), isn’t the question just, ‘where do we draw the line?’

The NRA wants people to believe that the Democratic Party draws the line at sporks, of course, but that’s purely political and wholly lying.

Well, I’m not sure why you felt the need to say you can’t believe something I didn’t say in the first place.

Reading comprehension. It’s useful on the web.

Are you serious?

Democrats have given up on gun control? I guess nobody told Maryland and New York that when they have already announced their intentions of weighing in on behalf of the defense.

Wow, I just can’t believe it. So you’re saying you agree with the plaintiff in this case?

Because otherwise, you and the rest of the Democrats are out to get people’s guns, and Republicans are going to make sure that the people know about it.
