Short answer
No.
Gun control is based on the opposite of reason. It is based on emotional pleas, PSH, and advocating policies that have been shown not to work.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Another proud member of the “Banning all handguns is a common sense compromise” Brigade.
“Let’s meet in the middle of the road. Self-defense will be outlawed, but you can still hunt waterfowl. Deal?”

BTW, some nutballs over there are convinced that there is some botnet that is directing all us myrmidons over there to defend our basic freedoms (something that we obviously wouldn’t do of our own volition.)

I’ve decided to stop trying over there. 99.7% of guns never cause a crime yet restriction is “a compromise”.
I ask to remove half of the 20,000 laws as a compromise, and I get crickets. To them, reasonable means they get what they want and we knuckle-dragging Neanderthals should just suck it up.
Thank God we’re the ones with the guns.

Well not a botnet, but cooking up a bot to do stuff like that is pretty easy. Let’s say I wanted to look for posts about “gun control”. Try this simple google search:

Currently, “Is A Reasoned Approach Possible With Gun Control?” tops the list.
But let’s say you are even lazier than that. Well, on the right side column, there’s links to atom and RSS feeds:

Just for fun, here’s the RSS feed for “Reasoned Discoursetm”

“Unpossible”
“PSH” and “pants shitting hysterics”
“to Prevent Gun Ownership”

Kinda funny about PSH is psh.com is a law firm. We might be in trouble some day. In other news, pantsshittinghysterics.com was available last i checked 😉
And would it kill you to code the html? You’re monkeying up that page.

Sorry. I guess my point was that if you look at the text of the link, you might see how pathetically simple this bit of mischief is.

The second amendment is part of checks and balances. Gun control means those that have the guns are in control. Dearming the people is not legal, the language is pretty clear. The second clause can not be suspended just because the majority of folks are not actively invoking their rights under the first clause.
When we say land of the free and home of the brave, that means we, the people, bravely accept the fact that liberty entails a certain compromise in the security department. I might get shot by a maniac with a gun; I might get blown up by a terrorist; I might get wiped out by a tornado, but I want to be free when it happens, not the subject of a police state.
