This isn't a scenario likely to warm the cockles of the average schmo's cholesterol-laced heart. Deep down, he buys the party line that his sport-utility vehicle came at somebody else's expense, and that his Dockers deprived some needy family somewhere of ugly, baggy pants. His whole lifestyle rests on the exploitation of others, and it's only fair that he pay some subliminal price for that. So he willingly disarms. He yields his life and the lives of his family to the predators skulking behind specious logic.
Gun control is a front for the advancement of the socialist agenda.
Giving in to the idea that guns are dangerous concedes to the notion that it is better to let some lowlife steal your property, rape your wife, and beat you half to death than it is to expedite his passage into the next world. Your property was all gained at his expense anyway, so in a moral sense, he's entitled to it as much as you are. That is the core of the socialist doctrine, and you fight that cause when you take up arms to protect yourself. It's truly gratifying, and you help spread the message through these kinds of grass roots efforts. Otherwise, it's like yelling into the hurricane.
