It doesn't matter why they ban, silly. It doesn't matter why you think they ban. What matters is you accused PhiKapMom of saying that you (collective group) were stupid, evil, or both when that is not what she said.

It isn't brain surgery. It's just realizing that your projected your feelings about banning and made that PhiKapMom's response. Your projected feelings (valid or not) have nothing to do with her actual words.

Yes. Actually it does. Very much so. How else do you get a law passed? You drum up support. With guns, it is normally FEAR you try to use as a lever on the public. "Guns cause crime." "Guns are evil." "Guns are only for killing people." "Assault Weapons have no other purpose than to kill lots of people." "We need to ban Assault Weapons because they are too dangerous and civilians have no need of them."

Every sinlge mantra predicated on the assumption that anyone wanting to own one is either a criminal, is dangerous, or is too stupid to do so safely.

Her "actual words" have nothing in common with the REALITY of gun ownership and so-called "assault weapons". Or are you just too stupid to see it? I've tried moderating my language up till now, but this is getting ridiculous.
