Simply discussing gun control gets a good percentage of the population hot under the collar, from both sides of the argument.

I think that Rolling Stone is engaging in a little "bomb throwing" to stir up those who they know would be adamantly against such a move. It's only my opinion, but I think that was a calculated move to elicit strong and to some, comments that could be perceived or painted as irrational.

Based on Mr. Cotton's wishes, I won't go into any long political diatribe. It'll suffice to say that I do believe that the two main social/political philosophies are as divided and hostile as at any time since 1861. I also believe that a move such as Rolling Stone advocates could well precipitate a severe and profound Constitutional crisis that would have a high likelihood of forcing portions of the population and the current nation to reject the legitimacy and authority of the Federal Government and our current political system.

When you boil it down, there is likely going to be even more animosity, anger and division than we've seen up 'til now. And, that's saying something!
