2. "Gun control has no moral high ground when it comes to compassion."

Absolute truth. If The Controllers truly cared about the victims of gun violence they'd be *intensely* curious about the *inverse* correlation between gun violence and the number of guns in the country since '93, and reams of other data that doesn't support "restriction".

If they truly gave a damn, their concern would be made obvious by **action** --- the most obvious first step being simple google searches on the terms they so blindly toss around. ("assault weapon", semi-automatic, interstate gun sales etc.)

If they truly gave a damn, they'd be able to admit the obvious -- that there is *no such thing* as "restricting" anything for which there is strong demand.....given the obvious fact that demand creates it's own supply. (Prohibition? "War" on drugs? DERP!)

We could go on at great length.
