Refuting anti-gun-control arguments

[LightningCrash]

This guy put a lot of effort into his words, but nothing that can't be overcome with common sense and actual research:

The first (and only so far) comment refutes the arguments. But in typical anti-fashion, the author calls the refutation foolish and conveniently ignores key aspects of it.

Especially irritating are the political cartoons which tell us that gun merchants are greedy and evil and gun rights advocates are mental midgets. Dehumanization of those with whom you disagree is worrisome, especially when coupled with the death threats that many anti's have been making.

This is what we're up against.
These folks are coming out of the closet and getting loud and proud.
They think we do not have a right to bear arms.

That first rebuttal destroyed the bloggers post.

The blogger was using the Bill Maher/Jon Stewart model of mocking and belittling the opponent while bringing little of actual history and substance to the debate.
