Allow me the liberty to do a simple replacement with the above.

"I can see your point about being annoyed at the 'staties' pulling you over
the ones not carrying firearms. The problem is that hourds of people still
refuse to register them, of course; there is no way for the staties to know
which ones are carrying them or not. Solution? Search everyone over. What it
boils down to is the fact that the ones carrying unregistered firearms are
making it a hassle for those of us who have registered them. After all,
they're just trying to keep people from dying right? (and on and on...)."

IN FACT, I BET PEOPLE HAVE UNREGISTERED FIREARMS IN THEIR HOUSES! SOLUTION?
SEARCH THEM? AFTER ALL, WE WANT TO BE PROTECTED FROM PEOPLE CARYING GUNS,
DONT WE? DRUGS? STOP PEOPLE WHEREVER THEY ARE AT, WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING? WE
DONT WANT THAT STUFF GETTING IN THE WRONG HANDS, FOR SURE! BETTER YET,
ARRESTED LATELY? WELL, WE CANT TAKE ANY CHANCES - IN PRISON BUDDY. BESIDES,
IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE TRIALS AND PAY JUDGES ANYWAY!

Wake up, why dont you? Just how far should this go?
