The other day I was cruising facebook and I ran into a post from "Mom's Demand Action" which had been shared by The Truth About Guns. It was about how a certain gun grabber was hypocritically criticizing the NRA for blocking her from Twitter when this Gun-grabber site and many others routinely block or ban dissenters themselves.
I pointed out the hypocrisy of this in a comment and I was quickly answered by a MDA member with this comment:
A "no gun world is best." She said to me. Of course this ignores what a truly crappy world us humans had before guns existed; since it was the invention and proliferation of firearms that grew the size of armies and shrank the power of the nobility who were training in sword-fighting and horsemanship. It ignores that guns make it possible for citizens to be as well armed as their government. It ignores the fact that guns make it possible for the weak to defend against the strong.
It is just really, really an ignorant statement by a person who is raising the banner about an issue they literally know nothing about.
If history is any lesson, the world is a much better place with guns in it than it was before.
I won't even get into the ludicrousness of guns not existing at all. Good luck with that.
The rest of the discussion can be found here. Reading the comments from their members is chilling really.

when you see kids being killed everyday there is no hypocrisy involved. Its just a matter of what some people see as common sense. The NRA thinks more guns is the answer we just think a no gun world is best.
