3. You are exactly correct, but

you are much too kind by your characterization of gun fetishists as "gun fanciers." Those self-proclaimed "Democrats" who support and apologize for the NRA by using inane analogies like, "even a broken clock is right twice a day," are being willfully obtuse. The NRA is never, ever, "right" except for its politics.

The NRA and those who support the right-wing gun lobby by their steadfast refusal to even consider steps to curtail the obscene proliferation of guns in this country, all have the blood of innocents on their hands. No amount of insincere apologies can wipe away that stain, or make up for the loss of life due to the irresponsible behavior of many gun owners. Their protestations of "but we are law abiding," ring hollow when lax laws allow children access to unsecured guns, or easy gun theft by criminals.

The other shallow excuse by some "progressive" gun promoters is that "I teach gun safety, thereby doing my part to save lives." Bullshit! By their very design and purpose, guns are inherently not safe, nor were they meant to be. Guns serve but one design purpose: to kill living things. The only thing that makes a gun even close to "safe" is locking it up in a secure place like an armory and tracking its custody 24/7.

Gun "fanciers" = right-wing gun culture enablers.
