What a stereotype.  You don't really believe this I am sure.

What if one says that all pro-gunners only want TOTALLY unrestricted,
undocumented access ALL TYPES of guns?  This is about an equal statement
to yours.

No anti-gunner with common sense honestly believes that you can get rid
of guns over night.  Many just want restrictions.  Many want to
pursue the goal of significant control to varying degrees.

Guns can never be completely eliminated.  But many societies have 
significantly reduced their criminal use by minimizing availability.
