Why is it that the best argument for more gun control are the most ardent supports of gun rights? Allowing a person of questionable mental stability unlimited access to guns doesn't seem like a good idea. Giving every day citizens military style semi-automatic weapons and extended clips doesn't seem like a good idea.
The bigger problem seems to be that gun rights activists are so afraid of some sort of slipper slope ending in a complete repeal of the second amendment that they are unwilling to have reasonable discussions limiting rights in a common sense way. There is a 0% chance that the second amendment will be repealed and a 100% chance that a legal gun will fall into the hands of someone that shouldn't own a gun. We should be able to question some forms of gun rights without being labeled a Communist. Failing to do so will result in attacks like that attempted murder of Representative Giffords happening again in the future.
