An industry so dependent on civil liberties and freedoms should be more supportive of other industries also dependent on those same liberties.

The same false arguments / tactics used by the gun ban crowd can be easily used on porn.
"Porn causes rape / pedophilia, etc, etc".
I'd think very carefully about supporting positions that can set those kinds of precedents. Sooner or later the ball will fly your way in that environment, I don't care what your personal issue of choice is.

The worst school massacre in US history was committed with a bomb. You could ban every gun in the country, crime will not go down and these kinds of horrible acts will continue to happen.

In Australia and the UK where guns were banned crime rose drastically. Home invasions have become extremely popular now that criminals don't have to worry about being shot. The criminals still have guns and the ones who don't use knives, tire irons, bricks, etc to commit armed robbery. Those crimes have also risen dramatically with the main difference being that more victims are seriously injured now from being stabbed and bludgeoned.

Wish for a gun ban in one hand and shit in the other, this is one issue the US public is not going to sit back and allow the Feds to roll over them on.
