The knee jerk part is related to comments like yours. Shouting out fixes to things you have no understanding of. AND, shouting them out with insults to people you have no understanding of. Gun Extremist? Why input that into an argument if you have something rational to say? if you have a good argument, why not just state it in a way someone might listen. 

Example, Silencers. There is no such thing. The do make a suppressor but it does not even come close to silencing a gun. A 1911 .45 ACP will generate about 162 decibels, if suppressed that can be reduced to about 133. hardly silent, but the sound is reduced enough to add protection from hearing damage. Which, by the way is why some people want suppressors, not so they can silently murder people in their sleep.

Oh and 'death control", good luck with that. A bomb has an effective way of eliminating that possibility all together. Or maybe you want to eradicate explosives, and flammables, better add stick and rocks.
