Meanwhile, all gun control is predicated on imposing overwhelming firepower upon The Hated Other. Not actual violent criminals, just The Hated Other. And if armed teams have to kick in doors and gun people down in order to "save lives" then that is what is good and right.

Accuse others of sin loudly enough and they'll probably be too scared to look for that sin in yourself.
