There's an old meme about 'anti-gun logic' that goes 'It's better to be raped and murdered than defend yourself w/ a gun'. Those who repeat it are often called 'extremist' or using 'bumper sticker arguments' by the anti-gun lobby.
Then an anti-gun activist
goes and says it:
...I’d like to have this notion that anyone using a gun is a wuss. They
aren’t anybody to be looked up to. They’re somebody to look down at
because they couldn’t defend themselves or couldn’t protect others
without using a gun.
And this isn't just your run of the mill activist, this is
Dr. David Hemenway, one of the head researchers for gun control in this nation and a prominent recipient of
Joyce Foundation grants.
I wonder if Hemenway would have the balls to say that to
Mary Shepard's face?

So yes, they want you disarmed. They want confiscation. They want you to have to rely on the police for your protection. These are the 'social norms' they're calling for.
I've disagreed w/ his premises and argued against his research considering him little more than a well-educated hack. Now I consider him nothing more than a fanatical POS who deserves nothing but my contempt.
