No, actually the NRA and their republican butt-buddies have made it the same argument.
Well, in a sane man's conversation, that is a different argument. I think guns should be kept away from the mentally ill, people who have severe anger management issues and people who are suicidal. Obviously, violent criminals top the list. The real problem is that they can get guns illegally. Now, if we take the law enforcement focus off of drugs (apart from production and sale of deadly drugs), we could put more focus on stopping illegal weapons sale. I often get frustrated with the cluster fuck that is our legal system. I am a cunt hair away from feeling hopelessness in that regard, largely because of the nonsense NRA and republican shit that you speak of. If one more asshole mentions abortion legislation to me, I might scream. With all of the fucking problems in the world, they want to focus on people's wombs. I don't tell them what to do when it comes to sharing a cup at a church and spreading illness.
