*I support this ban.  But, only in a targeted way.  First, ban only progressive, liberal socialists from carying or owning firearms.  Since they are the ones who oppose natural law and fear those of us wanting to defend ourselves, their vulnerability needs to be made clear to those intending harm against them.  That way, the rest of us can remain secure in our person, our families, and our homes, knowing that the gene pool will be properly reduced.  Since Darwin is their god, they will all likely embrace this approach. 

And second, anyone in a position of power with armed bodyguards who demands the disarming of law-abiding citizens should immediately disarm their bodyguards.  What or who are they afraid of?  Why do they need others to defend them with deadly force?  I do not suffer hypocrites gladly.  In this case, our "enlightened" governor should request state legislation to disband his protective detail.  Then, undefended, he can confidently walk among the people.  I think he will enjoy the impression he makes!
