Some of the most pro gun control people I've ever met have been wealthy people, doctors, lawyers, etc., who regularly engage in shotgun sports.
Yep. You read that correctly.
They don't, you see, own firearms. That would be so low brow. They own FINE SPORTING IMPLEMENTS. A $20,000 Perazzi sporting clays shotgun is NOT a gun! How dare you sully the good name of fine sporting implements like that!
They are not and should not be considered firearms because they are only affordable to the correct people who employ the correct group think!
AR-15s? OMG! How horrible! Weapon of war! YOU JUST WANT TO SHOOT UP A SCHOOL AND AN OLD FOLKS HOME! BAN THEM BAN THEM!
Hand guns? OMG! IF YOU OWN ONE YOUR'RE 22HUNDREDTRILLIONBILLION PERCENT MORE LIKELY TO GO ON A SHOOTING RAMPAGE AND KILL A BUS FULL OF NUNS! BAN THEM BAN THEM!
I wish I were joking. I'm exaggerating... but not by much from what I've seen.
