This is turning into a very normal thing. I suspect that nothing we do is going to alter this.
You could try revisiting your gun-laws.
Why do you hate freedom?
If a snotty nosed kid comes up to me in the park with a gun, and asks me for my wallet, I'm going to have to give it to him. That's not freedom.
If neither of us have a gun, I have the option of giving him my wallet or feeding him his teeth. In that scenario, I have freedom of choice.
A gun isn't a liberator. Its an oppressor.
