How incredibly presumptive of you to assume.

And of course you'd be wrong about how similar we are on guns, since most of them are part of the crowd that doesn't own or use guns and therefore feel that because they've survived without them just fine that the only obvious and reasonable course of action is that of course we should simply outlaw all guns and just have everyone all over the country turn them in (not buybacks, not voluntary, just everyone come hand over all their guns). And they feel that anyone who doesn't see how that's the obvious choice is just crazy.

Also, I don't even agree with what you've laid out here. So you're off on both sides of your assumption of similarity.
