To be clear, all advocates of any gun control, without exception, fall into two categories…
[ol][li]Those who are willfully on the side of tyrants and criminals, and who wish to disarm the general population in order to make them easier prey for the tyrants and criminals. They may claim that they support such laws for the sake of public safety, but they are flat-out lying when they make such claims. They know very well that gun control laws, at best, do nothing to promote public safety, and in fact, tend to make the public less safe.[/li]
…or…
[li]Those who are ignorant and gullible, and who believe the lies told by the first group.[/ol][/li]
It is well worth noting that those who most support gun control laws, and who claim to do so in the name of “fighting crime”, are generally the same people who most strongly oppose any genuine efforts to fight crime, such as tougher sentences for genuine violent criminals.
