1. If this election hinges on gun control

, the controllers will painfully find out that there isn't very widespread support for draconian shit like bans.

[Leontius]

2. Most of the gun hating whackos don't even know what they want to ban or why

and run away from any real discussion of the problems of guns and gun violence in the US. 'Guns is scary' is about the best they can do for any debate on the problem.

8. That was rather fast consiering how recently the laws passed.

9. According to BM:

"The measures adopted to restore public order are: First of all, the elimination of the so-called subversive elements. … They were elements of disorder and subversion. On the morrow of each conflict I gave the categorical order to confiscate the largest possible number of weapons of every sort and kind. This confiscation, which continues with the utmost energy, has given satisfactory results.&quot address to the Italian Senate, 1931)

history... who knew?

10. forgive my ignorance

but i don't understand the context of that quote. how does it relate to the op?

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

11. There are aspects of those laws that I neither...

...agree with nor see being reasonable. Registration, "Clinton clips", BGCs for ammo, "lending rules"...

I'm not generally a Godwinism fan but the Mussolini quote just seemed to fit well with the spirit of that type of law.
