Restricting gun ownership to protect people, by making them utterly defenseless against violent crime, where the cops are the only ones armed and are not responsible to protect anyone, is so fantastically stupid that only insane people could possibly go along with it - literally sheep to the slaughter.
This world does not have a political problem. It has an insanity problem.
What's worse is they think they're just like everyone else and are voted into positions of power.
