The reason Brady et al. want "gun control" is that they want to control all the guns. Because whoever controls the guns controls whomever don't.
They fear things like expansion of CCW not because they're afraid they might make crime go up, but because they're afraid it will make crime go down. This is a very common pattern with liberals, btw; they fear school vouchers not because they might fail, but because they would succeed.
Any time you're dealing with liberals, you need to recognize that there are not two political classes in this country, but three:
- Those who wish to be controlled.
- Those who wish to control themselves.
- Those who wish to control others.
Note that category #1 and #3 are both liberals, and yet they are in every other sense the exact opposite of each other. Any time you wish to talk to liberals, you should ascertain whether they are of type #1 or #3. If type #3 you should recognize that there is no need to prove the wrongness of their position, for they already know themselves to be lying.
Now then, ask yourself whether the VPC seems like #1 or #3?
15, good post, nothing to add.
