People that think guns only exist to murder are impossible to take remotely seriously. 


Is there ANY other political debate where one side is so overwhelmingly ignorant of the thing being debated as this one.  Perhaps AGW, but there is plenty of ignorance on both sides of that one (and that's not to say there isn't ignorance on the pro gun side as well, clearly there is, but nowhere near the level of ignorance on the gun control side).


I know I know..."we don't have to know a lot about a subject to know it's wrong and should be banned".....yeah....good luck with that.

Evolution-DOH, that's probably the worst one
Vaccines-is it really up for debate, yeah, there are a handful of people on the "other" side, but they are tiny minority AFAIK
Global warming-I mentioned that
Fluoridation-yeah, there is a lot of ignorance there....but it's got fewer people on the "ignorant" side than the gun issue does...probably by a lot
GMOs-up there with AGW and guns
The gas tax-perhaps I'm in the ignorant camp here, it seems there are good arguments from both sides
the balanced budget amendment-meh
Foreign aid-perhaps I'm in the ignorant camp here, it seems there are good arguments from both sides
Medicare Advantage-meh
The gold standard-I'm certainly in the ignorant camp here!
Benghazi!!!!1!-isn't everybody ignorant about that?
Nuclear energy-I'll put that right below the AGW,guns and GMOs as far as one side being very ignorant goes
"Chemicals"-?
Alcohol-?
Poverty-plenty of ignorance on both sides here too
"Hip hop culture"-there is debate?
Censorship in school and public libraries-is that still a thing?
Marijuana-plenty of ignorance on both sides here too
Kevin Bacon-don't get me started!


edit-so evolution, GMOs, AGW and guns are the front runners.  I'll rank 'em as:
1.evolution
2.GMOs
3.guns
4.AGW
