"I don't say the hidden criminals should be arrested."
I didn't say that you said "hidden criminals should be arrested." The government needs to treat all those who have not been convicted of a crime the same. Rights are accorded to the people and only restricted by due process and conviction.
"I do say you guys should stop pretending that gun owners are all good guys."
Please explain your alternative to "pretending" that the good and just among us be sorted out from the criminals only by due process.
"It's not even close."
What isn't close?

What else do you call it when 97% of them are not convicted of crimes?
