If you defenders of the 2nd amendment would stop ignoring the thing you don't want to address because it trashes all your programmed arguments, the popular sentiment is not to take your guns or to make it impossible for you to get more. It is just that law-abiding, non-felon citizens like yourselves should take ALL of the responsibility of gun ownership. If having to register a gun the way you register a car is so repulsive to you, then please to make your arguments against that, NOT to the notion that some fanatical fringe is trying to take your guns. As noted above, they are not. As it is, it's like I was asking you to paint my house and you keep yelling that you are not interested in cleaning my septic tank. As for the comments about illiteracy above, I don't claim to be smarter than anybody, but over the long run I would rather have my intelligence than all of your combined arsenals. (Your next line, by the way, is "try using your intelligence when some punk is trying to physically harm you and your family", just so you don't have to go and look it up.)
