53. Have I chided any antis?

In fact, if you look upthread, you'll see me being accused of "not trusting my fellow Americans" and that "more control is all (I) want", another common negative stereotype of "antis", that they aren't sincere about their concern for saving lives and just want to control people.

Well, do you? People are motivated by different things. They can agree on something for different reasons. Most "antis" I think do sincerely think some or a lot of social good will come from gun laws. You seem to be in that camp (I would also put Thom Hartmann and Ed Schultz in that camp as well, but I don't think either of them would be described as an "anti".) Some are authoritarians. Some really do hate guns. I'm not going to sit and make a list of every anti and which list I think they are on.
