Hypocrisy is a vital element of a well functioning society. Human nature is too dark to withstand the full glare of the sun... "You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. " Note "on that wall", not strutting up and down the high street packing a pistol.

You may suppose that, but you do not know it. It is certainly not the case about everyone opposed to your POV. It is also, as I am sure you know, irrelevant to either the facts at issue or people's right to live in the kind of society they choose.
The point is whether or not "the people", in this case the British people, have the right to choose to live in a society where gun ownership is relatively restricted and discouraged.
You do not have to agree with their choice or even their reasoning, but the disparaging references to ignorance, fear, political correctness etc are just as shallow as the sort of remarks about inbred rednecks obsessing over their hollow-points that you hear occasionally from your mirror images in the opposite camp.
