You have been sneering, snide, smug, supercilious, contemptuous, dismissive, and generally self-righteous and absolutistically and unreflectively self-certain towards both me and my positions - just like extremists would be. You and the droogies that I named engaged in a pack assault upon me when I had the temerity and gall to challenge your totalitarian thought-hegemony enforcement on this list - just like a herd of extremist sheeple would - resulting in the list consensus decision that you create another list within which to proselytize and propagandize each other, and mutually sing to the approving choir. The shoe fits, and whether or not you have the prerequisite honesty and integrity to admit it to yourself or others, you!

Overtly, you assert these things, yes; but when it comes down to federally standardizing state laws to get rid of the inconsistencies that furl interstate bleck markets, when it comes down to mandating checks of prospective purchasers for all sales to prevent crazies and violent ex-cons from getting them, when it comes down to placing a reasonable monthly cap on individual firearms purchases to deter illicit dealing in firearms, you and your droogies dig in your heels and shout bloody murder. It's like saying, "Yeah, sure we're in favor of it (wink, wink, nudge, nudge), but DON'T YOU DARE try to pass or patch any laws that'll get us there! Yasee, we want them done, but don't trust the guv-mint to do them! (Well, who DO you trust to do them?) NO ONE!" This is known in even polite circles as rank hypocrisy (as well as duplicitous pathology).
