All victims should submit to the will of their attackers. So, am I thinking like a liberal yet? Self defense is a ludicrous principle.

All victims should submit to the will of their attackers.

Republicans may not like it, but the disconnect is that most Americans don't buy ludicrous arguments of arming every man, women, and child.

Is this supposed to be the "striking disconnect between the policies promoted by the NRA (and passed by politicians) and the views of the public"? To quote Bart Simpson, "Think harder, Homer".
