It's been posited by many people now that the reason anti-gun people are so vehement is because of projection... the opinion that, since they don't trust themselves with a gun, no-one else is to be trusted either. Carrying this a step further, is it plausible that the PSH about suicide rates skyrocketing is because the antis are also suicidal? I can dream, can't I???

Like sending researchers into the homes of obese people, finding a lot of diet soda in their refrigerators, and concluding that consuming diet soda causes obesity.

Essentially the Antis don't have a leg to stand on when they try to take away my guns because they're worried I'll commit a crime with them....but if they take away my GUNS! Now we're talking I guess. Of course they will overlook my wife's scary-sharp kitchen knives, and my well-stocked medicine and liquor cabnet....oh and the commuter train that goes by my house every few hours....
