Is a gun like a virus, a car, tobacco or alcohol? Yes say public

So do we, yet you don't seriously advocate banning cars, alcohol or
tobacco. They are even promoting the sexual behavior that is most
responsible for the spread of the AIDS virus.

Find a better metaphor

Why do conservatives always jump to black or white? Why is the world
so binary for you folks?

Banning cars? How about seat belts and air bags, lower speed limits
and crash suppression on the highway, better driver education, smarter
automobile technology to help prevent accidents?

Promoting sexual behavior? No, accepting that it's some people's
natural way of living.

Again, why the black and white world? Too simple and you know it.

Perhaps it is the black white attitude of the gun banners, as if
banning anything has ever limited it's availability.

It sure has in many free countries in other parts of the world.
