Alex Jones' spittle-flecked rant just proves what so many on the gun control side have known for a long time: the gun militancy movement is based on enormous currents of emotionalism, equal to or exceeding whatever emotions that gun control advocates bring to the table. The key difference is that gun militants' emotions are based on perceived threats of any restrictions on firearms ownership, while gun control supporters' emotions derive from the suffering related to firearms use.

DU Gun Enthusiasts, ponder that question and see if copping a superior attitude is as easy as it used to be.....
