Thank God, we still live in America.
The problem is that both factions are trying to force their life style and approach to defense on the other. The blues seek criminals who cannot acquire a weapon. The reds seek the traditional ability to defend one's self, family and community. Both are desirable goals from my point of view, but many see the weapons as available or unavailable to all. There is a perception that if the other guy's goal is achieved, one is frustrated in achieving one's own goal.
