Anti's live in a could'a, should'a, would'a world. They constantly think about what could be instead of what is. They imagine a world without evil, poverty, hunger or disease. A world where everyone has and gets what they want. That's what antis want. AND if they can dream it - it can be.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY The problem! Anti's truly believe that if one can dream it - then the dream can come true and that in many if not most cases is just not the case. In addition they tend towards short term easy fixes to problems without regard to consequence or possibility of success.
Hence gun control. It's easier to just get rid of guns than change human nature - hence their solution is get rid of guns and no more gun crime. That's as far into the future as they are capable of thinking. It doesn't matter that then there'll be knife crime, club crime, fist crime - that can be dealt with later. Get rid of the guns now and we'll all be safer.
We won't, of course, be safer that is, because the balance of power will shift to the physically strong but that doesn't matter -antis can't think that far into the future or they irrationaly imagine that it's the inanimate gun that makes people evil rather than admit to themselves that some people are evil. Take away the gun and voila! - no evil.
Silly way to think but that's how they do it; at least the true believers and the dupes anyway. The politicians are all about power and control but they're not real anti's - they're all for guns - as long as it's them or those they control wielding them. And they're the ones with the power and are really the ones we need to worry about.
