22. Are you admitting that all gun owners are "gun nuts"?

Then don't be accusing the cartoon of demonizing gun owners. If you are unwilling to analyze the facts, which are:

The second amendment is not threatened. If you are guaranteed anything, it is the "right to bear arms" - not "the right to bear any and all arms". You are not permitted to own a nuclear bomb, and society in general is reflected by current law until society decides the laws need to be changed. That is what is happening right now.

What will happen is variants on the following:

Close the gun show and private sale loopholes - background checks for every gun sale and during the purchase of ammunition, because a gun without ammo is a bat.

Eliminate the sale of military style semi-automatic assault rifles and large capacity magazines

Those are the only things I've heard consistently and they seem pretty common-sense to me.
