Do these quotes sound familiar?

"We are outraged. We are not murderers. Instead of going after real criminals, the government is indulging in window dressing by bringing in gun control laws that target law-abiding citizens who have licensed guns," said Abhijeet Singh, 37, a software engineer....

"We want to remove the stigma on licensed gun owners," Singh said.

"An armed society is a polite society," said Rahoul Rai....

But unfortunately they have people without any knowledge of history in India as well:

"There is no place for a gun rights movement in India," said Julius Ribeiro, a former police officer who comments on security issues. "That kind of debate may work in America, but it will not work here, because laws are misused and guns can easily fall into the wrong hands. It can get dangerous in India."

We've already figured out the rhetoric for them. All they have to do is choose a side.

Quote from the India article....

To illustrate the point, gun advocates refer to a 2008 incident in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The clamor for gun licenses was so high, according to news media, that officials tried to induce men with large families to participate in a vasectomy program by promising a license in return.

I Had a vasectomy yrs ago.I can send proof if required.

I WANT MY CCPERMIT NOW!
