Eric has a consistent and well thought out perspective on gun policy that just requires one to ignore certain things... like history, the text of the law, the values of the authors of the law, the sources of the legal theories he is advocating, etc... He can think, but his thoughts are highly selective.
Kinser usually makes sense and I can actually get through to him simply because he doesn't ignore huge swaths of reality and does his homework. Like most of Generation X, he is aware that bad things happen when you ignore reality.
Eric the Obtuse seems more like a cartoon character than an actual person given how little contact with reality he has. Try to translate his ideas into some form of formal logic like Propositional Logic or Predicate Calculus and see where that gets you. Try to do that a few times and you will realize he is a complete lunatic.

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action. -- Ludwig von Mises
