| | + | Conservatives seem to really like guns. They seem to think that if someone tries to mug them shooting would be a good idea. They also think that shooting to wound, as supposed to shooting without any control over whether you will kill or maim, is possible for a non-expert marksman with a handgun. Surely a much better defensive weapon than a handgun would be a can of pepper spray, or a few martial arts lessons. |

| | + | So it's really important we don't have gun control, as Barack Osama is highly likely to go crazy and institute an evil Facist regime. If this happened, a civil war between private citizens and the government would be the best way to sort things out (as supposed to the intervention of, say, the UN or NATO). |
