I always tell liberals that I'm in full support of real gun control. When they inevitably ask what that means, I tell them that the police and military have to surrender their weapons first. Their face always wrinkles when I say that. "No way!" they exclaim, "the gun nuts would overpower them." That's when I say something like, "Are you saying that if we disarm only some people in society they'll be powerless to protect themselves from those who remain armed? You sound like the NRA."
