Some of the more extreme gun banners are true hoplophobes, unreasonably frightened of inanimate objects, firearms, and in some cases even toys that look like guns. But for the most part the gun control crowd have a much deeper fear, one against a free and empowered public. They simply do not trust their fellow citizens. And should they ever succeed in their goal of disarmament we will then experience a veritable shopping list of other things they fear in the hands of us common folk, say for example fast cars, or private property, or the vote.
