    Agreed, Nice to see a fairly unbiased piece from the Huffington Post. I can appreciate that. Kudos to the author.

      Odd title when government is, by definition, force and the threat of violence. You may agree with their intent, but that doesn't mean others do and those others will need to be "swayed" some way or another. Stefan Molyneux said it best:

      "If you are for gun control, then you're not against guns, because the guns will be needed to disarm people. You'll need to go around, pass laws, and shoot people who resist, kick in doors, and throw people in jail, and so on; rip up families, just to take away guns. So it's not that you're anti-gun, because [...] you'll need the police's guns to take away other people's guns, so you're very pro-gun, you just believe that only the government (which is of course so reliable, honest, moral, virtuous, and forward-thinking) should be allowed to have guns. So there's no such thing as gun control, there's only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small political elite and their minions. Gun control is a misnomer."
      I always like using the word "minions". Unfortunately "jack booted thugs" is outdated due to rubber soles.

      Best!

        This should easily win the "Snarky Remark of the Month" award.
        Things usually turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out.
