Wha i's the spring of this intense passion people feel for guns that gets them to oppose completely rational gun regulations and to believe everything the NRA tells them?

What's the spring of the intense need to demonize gun rights advocates and assign them the blame for the actions of criminals and mental defectives?  Why is it that gun control proposals need to be couched in terms like “rational” and “common sense” and defense of gun rights gets ridiculed?

The actual legal and constitutional arguments of gun rights people are ignored (as your history here has shown) and the thought that constitutional principles determine a person’s position isn’t allowed to even be considered.  This is especially true when public figures are discussed; the only reason a politician holds a gun rights position is he/she, “is in the pocket of the NRA” . . .  Weak premises like that are relied on to appeal to weak minds, the legal / constitutional debate need never be entered; the evilness of guns and those who support gun rights is accepted and promoted and pollsters are there to record the overwhelming public support for “rational gun regulations”.

As the article states, the aftermath of the Newtown massacre was the worst of this policy bankruptcy and is what extinguished any expectation that effective policy could come out of the tragedy.
 
So we plainly see that your reaction to the OP and the article proves the article's premise.  Anti-gun rights people spend more time and energy trying to convince others that gun owners (and their evil overlord the NRA) are the real problem and the root cause of gun crime than they do actually thinking about solutions for gun crime and policies that directly address gun crime.

That all your comments amount to is the usual, worn-out demagoguery, demonstrates the criminal justice policies of the left have more to do with social engineering toward a political end than solving actual problems.

Combine the left’s longtime hostility for lawful gun ownership, gun rights and gun rights organizations, with the left’s recent support for law-breakers and their demonization for law enforcement it is clear who the left fears . . .  

They would rather dismiss the havoc caused by the murderers, rapists, rioters and robbers walking in their midst, and then, without embarrassment, tell everyone that both police and gun rights people are the savages for exercising the right of self-defense against the lawless horde they protect and nurture. 

That tells me that leftists believe the chaos, damage and pain caused by criminals is less of a problem for, or a threat to, “their” society then men and women who protect society or for private citizens, believe in the Constitution and themselves to be free and independent, and act accordingly. 

That you actually recognize that dissonance and just how dangerous it is to civil society and how morally bankrupt that is, is what explains your hostility and projection; it is hardly “rational” no matter how much you try to condition yourself that it is.



And a content deprived reply containing the phrases "word salad", "penis substitute" and "gun woshipper"  in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 . . .

What in the world is going on with this country?
Guns are the most obvious sign of a collective insanity that has infected the right.
Maybe it's the Fox effect?
