re: #6 dragonfire1981

They said basically this same thing on Fox News yesterday. In a segment about Biden’s committee and the recommendations that will be made it was presented from the point of view of “you’re screwed, they’re coming for your guns.”

Also if I remember correctly the term “Gun ban” was used more than “gun control”.

Yes, in there mind there is no difference. I’ve started using the phrase “gun regulation” as that is what the Supreme Court says is Constitutional.

The old “slippery slope” paranoia is hard to overcome. I try to point-out the recent court cases + the gun lobby won the confiscation law suits after Katrina. There is plenty of recent precident to show that law enforcement isn’t going to do house-to-house searches without a clear legal intent.

It’s difficult to counter the emotional power of the paranoia and to try to reach the adult part of the brain with such individuals.
