Here’s the thing about conservative arguments: If they can’t fit on a bumper sticker, it’s too long for their intended audience and they run the risk of a disastrous second glance. Take the above bit of empty headed propaganda as an example: it seems quite witty until you take a fraction of a second to think about it.

What’s the difference between an abortion and a gun and religion? Well let’s see…an abortion is a personal decision that only directly affects the woman making it. A gun, specifically the kind rational people want banned, is a personal possession that exists for the express purpose of killing other people and religion, specifically the kind people object to, is used to push arbitrary morals on to other people.

Guns - Sure, there’s a few people who want all guns banned. They are few and far between. A lot more people wouldn’t be upset if all guns were banned but that’s a far cry from advocating for it. Gun nuts regularly try to stereotype all gun control advocates as gun snatchers that “wanna take our gunz!” This is clear indication that the gun nut is aware that they do not have a legitimate reason for owning guns that are inferior for hunting but excellent for killing a room full of children.

Need home defense? Get a shotgun. Want to go hunting? As Bluedog Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (NRA Rating = A) pointed out, “I don’t know anyone who in the hunting or sporting arena that goes out with an assault rifle. I don’t know anybody that needs 30 rounds in the clip to go hunting.” Want to pop your rocks at a gun range? Store the gun or ammo on site, you don’t need it in your home. People do this with fully automatic machine guns and they don’t seem to be suffering from tyranny.
