OK, that’s it…I’m seriously drinking now…

An analogy with the start of the Civil War… the thing that got slaveholders upset wasn’t that their slaves were all going to be released (they weren’t, in 1860), but rather the concept there wasn’t going to be slavery everywhere, all the time. Their property rights were so important that they had to override everything else, as now some people believe gun carrying rights ought to override all other considerations.
