And I've seen my fair share of these same disingenuous arguments here on DU. Why in the hell are these people welcome here? There aren't two sides to the gun control debate. One side has a wealth of evidence at their disposal plus dozens of examples in the UK of gun control working brilliantly...and the other side has this "slippery slope" bullshit. Or maybe they'll quote Benjamin Franklin's "He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither."

Like Benjamin was really thinking of gun fetishists who own weapons that can fire in excess of nine bullets before reloading when he made that statement.
