I guess the difference between me and politically-correct liberals like you is that I do not conflate criminality with not thinking like me.

Perhaps not. But the use of a phrase like "politically correct liberals like you" illustrates the gulf you place between yourself and those who don't think like you do. You may not consider it criminality to have a different opinion, but plenty of gun nuts do. Witness the armed protestors at Obama rallies, and the famous sign "We're not armed - yet"...

Which is not even to mention the cases of frontier justice and "shoot first and ask questions later" in which opinions never come up. The fact remains that you and your kind seek a monoply of force to "pacify" the rest of us. You may be surprised to find yourself on the wrong side of somebody else's pacification someday...
