Todd,
Part of why people get angry about this issue is that it is clear that a group of folks are trying to slowly elimate guns from this country.
Step 1: Get all the guns registerd so we know who has them. This makes it easier to lean on them in the future. Of course we will say that its just a safety issue at this point.
Step 2: Widdle away at the problem by outlawing certain types. We have already seen this happen to some degree.
Step 3: In parralel with 1&2; Propaganda. Ever notice that CNN will state the a criminal will use an "automatic weapon" when in fact it is not automatic at all but a garden variety semiauto. The goal in this step is to scare folks and spread disinformation, therefore make gun ownership look like a big scary problem.
Step 4: Eventually outlaw guns by making it so convoluted that you need to jump through hoops to obtain even a hunting rifle.
Step 5: Try to put the firearms business out of business. Have you seen the law suits. Is the manufacture of a tractor responsible for me running it off a cliff and killing myself? The mayors of american cities seem to think so.
HCI, AMA, and similar groups have basically stated this is the plan of action.
So stop being a facist. If you want guns outlawed in your local area you will need to hash that out with your neighbors.
Otherwise leave the rest of us alone.
Did you see that election map? Did you note that the center of the country had a slightly different view than the left and right coast? Thats because we get tired of the coasts trying to dictate what is right and wrong for the rest of the country.
Guys: next time you visit your doctor ask him or her if the agree with the AMAs (American Medical Association, basically a doctors union) stated goals to elimate private ownership of firearms. If they do then its time to change your primary care provider. These guys need to remember that we are the customers and that we can go some place else.
