353. You've set yourself up...
so that the ONLY way firearm ownership will have something to do with you, ever, will be you hunting or sport shooting with a long gun, or a criminal pointing a gun at you.

You when you whine about "only criminals have guns!", you're reaping the exact field you've sowed. You've set up the system so that honest citizens have no chance of self-defense with a firearm, and use that as a justification to say a) people never realistically use guns in self-defense, and b) only criminals use guns, so we have to ban them.

Your arguments are as relevent as Bush's about staying in Iraq. "We have to stay to fight the terrorists!", "Iraq is the central front on terror", etc., etc., etc., all the while ignoring the fact that a) terrorists weren't there until AFTER we invaded, and b) we're drawing and creating terrorists by being there.
