It seems like “I’m a gun owner, but…” is the new “Some of my best friends are Jewish/homosexual/black….”

It always translates to, “I don’t own one of those, therefore no reasonable person would want to, therefore they can and should be banned.”

Everyone is okay with banning things that other people own. No one is okay with banning anything they themselves own.

It’s amazing how the line of what is moral and what isn’t always seems to fall right on the “I own that/I don’t own that” line. Remarkable coincidence.
