I have no problem if you want to stick your head out and place it neatly on the chopping block of history, just don’t ask me to do the same thing.

That’s really the crux of the problem: you have your opinion and I have my own concerning the ownership of guns, the problem is that you -- and indeed, all gun control types -- insist that I agree with your view. By contrast, I am not asking you to keep a gun if it doesn’t appeal to you, even though I personally think it is your duty to do so. But you gun control types want to take away my civil liberties -- specifically, my right to own guns. That’s just not okay. And we are not agreeing to disagree -- you are actively seeking to destroy something I consider a fundamental right of freemen. Again, that’s just not okay with me and never will be.
