My personal experience of the gun control movement parallels my personal experience of the Holocaust denial/revision movement.I hold out hope there is such an argument, and there are some that come close (the realpolitik ones by nihilists are somewhat hard to refute rhetorically), but I haven't found one that withstood close examination in my eyes. I've tried. I used to be something of an anti-gunner myself, self-righteous hypocritical illusions of Utopia and everything. All of them founded in ignorance, and riddled with contradiction.

Both consist of a pyramidal structure.
At the top are a small cadre of grifters who seek power, influence and the money of the malicious and gullible.
Beneath them is a layer of accomplices and henchmen who troll for the gullible and malicious. They trail behind them a web of lies like a drift net.
At the bottom are the mass of ignorant and or evil marks who've been ensnared by the grift. Their "donations" fund the slimy apparatus operating above them.
In both cases, their massive con jobs played on the gullible to achieve evil ends.
