OT James Nicoll, You have just summed up the gun issue.

No, just the highly-visible and sensationalized "safety from wackos" side of it. This leaves open the home/personal protection side (necessary to protect the right to Life), the check against an oppressive government side (necessary to protect the right to Liberty), etc. No one sums it up in a paragraph.

Besides, it's not a "gun" issue. It's an issue about how to best prevent the misuse of firearms without stepping on the rights of the over 99% of the firearm-owning population that doesn't misuse them.
