Ah... thank you for bringing me back to reality. I thought for a second the focus might have shifted to issues rather than labels.

Let me give you an example:

You really think that guns kill people. Not people kill people.

Of course people kill people, not guns. So what does that question mean? That everyone should have the right to carry a concealed handgun in New York City? That every village idiot is free to buy a gun because background checks are in violation of the constitution? Does the "right to bear arms" include anti-aircraft guns? Anti-tank weapons? Explosives?

Applying "liberal" or "conservative"labels to sticky issues such as gun control is divisive, not an attempt to build a reasonable, logical consensus on the issues.
