From my perspective, the phrase "awash in guns" is a values statement that the situation is unacceptable, and must change.  The desire to regulate is a desire to use the force of government to change the culture.  Thus, the point stands.  Both cultures desire to change the other, and must to get their goals?  They just don't see their own culture's infringements.

Regulation is just the alternative to deregulation.  Both impose costs and benefits.  Both empower some and disempower others.  Pretending to the contrary is diengenuous.  In this case, the majority benefits from regulation, since the majority are not gun owners.  Eventually, that disparity will take its toll.  The NRA and its supporters should keep that in mind.  When the pendulum swings, it tends to keep going for a long while.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
