I did say "may be."
Actually, you said "I think there is quite likely a correlation between murder rate and gun regulations, and that it may be a causative one."
I know when I tell someone "Quite likely", it's a little more positive than "maybe". I don't think I'm the only person who'd interpret it that way, either.
I don't know your definition of what a "pro gun but gun control works" mentality would be!
Basically anyone who believes that we should have guns, but that the government has a right to place restrictions on them. Fudds, for example.
I have the GOA/RMGO attitude. "Shall not be infringed" means exactly that, and if someone is too dangerous to be trusted with a weapon, they're too dangerous to be running around loose in society, because no amount of regulation is going to stop them from procuring one.
I believe we should be able to own any firearm, no matter it's rate of fire, bore diameter or destructive potential. I believe we should be able to carry them everywhere, including the white house and airplanes. I believe the founding fathers understood that a government with greater armament than it's constituency not only has the ability to become tyrannical, but also the inclination.
