11. New Year's Resolutions for Gun-Control religionists.

Taken from another site. don't know who wrote it.

1. We will stop referring ourselves as "gun safety" advocates. We teach nothing concerning safe handling of firearms nor even provide low-cost trigger locks while simultaneously demanding laws are passed that mandate their usage. It will be a cold day in Hell before we even as much as raffle off a firearms safe while preaching about "gun safety".

2. We will stop blaming inanimate objects for a cause of death.

3. We will be honest with ourselves in that some sort of confiscation and prevention of civilian ownership of firearms we deem unsuitable because of cosmetic features unrelated to function is a terminal goal.

4. We will stop attempting to deflect attention away from Chicago, DC, Los Angeles, and other cities where strict gun control laws have proven resounding failures even though these laws were touted as being crucial for public safety when they were drafted.

5. We will stop pretending that so-called "smart gun" technology is anything other than a tool to reduce the civilian supply of handguns.

6. We will admit microstamping and microengraving of ammunition and firearms is nothing but a costly and fruitless exercise we push as a feel-good measure.
