"I am also betting that the majority - the vast majority - of responsible, law-abiding gun owners would be some of the first to say that we should be able to keep an irresponsible, lawbreaking few from buying a weapon of war. I'm willing to bet that they don't think that using a gun and using common sense are incompatible ideas"
A quote from a previous petition response to a WTP Petition. The presumption inaccurately portrays law abiding gun owners as generally wanting any NEW legislation as opposed to better enforcement of existing laws. As a law abiding citizen I'm convinced many others would not abide the erosion of rights on the erroneous presumption that people who enjoy the 2ND amendment generally want more restrictions.
Correct, recognize, and apologize for this false assumption.
