The political Right is illustrated as being for the current hierarchy and for little change, and the Left is drawn as being for the little guy and against bullying. The problem is that one is not the oppressor and one is not the savior.
What if every conservative were drummed out of office? Then the Left could get their way, right? What would be the first move on guns? Why, to control them so hard no one could EVER say the Left didn't "do something." Two things here:
(1) To accomplish this requires complete fascism over guns, and over whoever is in favor of guns, regardless of how "mild" your gun control is, because whoever dissents must be moved out of the way, right?
(2) You won't stop criminal behavior, you won't stop rage, you won't stop crimes of passion, you won't stop mental illness. Or will you? How?
The response to me shall be "But we must TRY!" We do try. We HAVE tried. We have gun-free zones when that in itself smacks of unconstitutionality. We have gun-free STATES (New York, for example). But you know what we do NOT have. We do not have a united front against gang warfare, inner city crime, hostile immigrants where they exist, and so on.
Think about THIS:
It's NOT "Save kids not guns" - it's "Save kids AND guns."
It can be done. Just TRY.
