I have yet to see evidence that gun control, of any form, would curb or stop violence. When
the vice president admits that it won't work and the
Department of Homeland Security didn't have a problem with "assault rifles" being used as "personal defense weapons" it becomes clear to me there is more of an agenda at hand than an actual concern for human life. This is why I won't budge and if people think that makes me or others like me stubborn so be it. The Executive branch isn't being upfront and honest as referenced above and the very government that says assault weapons are not needed for self defense didn't have a problem labeling them as such until this administration starting making a stink about it.
What you see you see because it is what you believe. You don't know how to see in any other way and thus you do not see what other people see and are telling you here that they see because you are driven by unconscious motivation.
For example, you frame the issue in black and white, you see no evidence if any useful gun control because gun control can't stop violence. Every idiot on the planet knows that but it is not the issue. Gun control laws are passed in the hope of reducing intended effects by making them illegal and punishable, say along the lines of providing incentive for law abiding people to do a better job of keeping loaded weapons out of the hands of kids. Will it stop kids killing with guns? No, but it may and probably will help because one of the issues about gun violence is that guns are made with a capacity to do great harm and the fewer kids that get hold of one the fewer accidents there will be.
So what you see instead of what others see as something along the line of common sense, you see an agenda, a projection of your paranoid inner state onto others, that they are as unreasonable and fanatical as you are and that they will take away your only means of survival, the gun fantasy you have built around yourself as protection, your guns and gun religion.
In this way, by the reaction of normal people to your madness, you create what you fear, an enormous hostility to your religion, a rabid group of atheists that want to stamp it out every bit as fanatical as you are to keep it.
For this reason you should listen to those who are on the side of your religion minus the mental illness who can explain it rationally to folk who are agnostic in a way that makes sense to them, people say, who really do care about needless gun deaths of children by trying to make their guardians more aware of the nature of the knows issues caused by a gun children mix.
