And that really means something profound, to people who can’t just want you to stop owning things they’re uncomfortable with.
It comes down to the fact that most of them don't own firearms, don't really want to, and don't care much about them.
I don't drink alcohol these days. Alcohol inflicts far more casualties upon America than firearms ever did. It's no skin off my back to ban alcohol. But I am sure people who like to have an occasional alcoholic beverage, including probably the vast majority of the liberals who want to ban guns if we are being honest (in overabundance), probably would have some objections to the demand that we ban alcohol, or weed, or even gay sex (that too causes more fatalities when you tally up the HIV deaths). Most of us drive, so most of us would scoff at the idea of banning automobiles. But it's the same thing, really.
What makes the difference is that it doesn't affect the banners. Monty doesn't own a gun so fuck you give up your freedom because.
