11. Apologist? For what?

The percentage of legal gun owners who actually commit any crimes with their firearms is barely a statistical rounding error.

I will consider supporting policies that actually and specifically target those who criminally misuse firearms, but will not punish tens of millions of peaceful and law-abiding Americans, engage in a culture war, and I certainly will not eviscerate or abrogate the Constitution well beyond the 2A to do it.

You are free to advocate your "pre-crime" approach to gun control, and view over a third of your fellow American adults, including millions of Democrats, as psychopaths ready to snap, but you will achieve similar or worse political and legal results than now.
