   I take it you see no middle ground between unrestricted access to military   
   weapons by civilians and a complete ban on all guns?  Who is advocating   
   "disarming the population to make them helpless against the government"?   
   Do you really think that you and your drinking buddies storming the local   
   DNC headquarters with your AR-15s is a viable strategy for political   
   reform?  Do you ever really think about issues, or just let Fox News tell   
   you what to say in any given situation?
