FWIW, I'm not entirely comfortable with the "rights vs control" framing. It leapfrogs discussion of all other means of preventing gun violence, and jumps right to (gun) control.

In point of fact, this is the dead giveaway that The Controllers aren't sincerely concerned about the victims of gun violence. Because if they were, they'd be interested in ways to curb gun violence other than vain attempts to restrict the raw number of firearms in the nation.
