Or is it just the normal RW arrogant & deliberate ignorance?

When several tragic deaths occur involving motorcycles, "Responsible" motorcycle owners & enthusiasts will do everything they can & follow every law which makes their motorcycles safer & less dangerous to themselves, other motorcycle owners & the general public.

If they involve airplanes, "Responsible" aircraft pilots will do everything they can & follow every law which makes their aircraft safer & less dangerous to themselves, other aircraft pilots & the general public.

If they involve skydiving, "Responsible" skydivers will do everything they can & follow every law which makes their skydiving safer & less dangerous to themselves, other skydivers & the general public.

If they involve dogs, "Responsible" dog owners will do everything they can & follow every law which makes their dogs safer & less dangerous to themselves, other dogs, other dog owners & the general public.

But if they involve guns, so-called "Responsible" gun owners will fight every measure - proposed or imagined - and do everything they can to prevent laws which make their guns safer & less dangerous to themselves, other gun owners & the general public. If this wasn't true, the massacre in Aurora would never have happened.
