That’s what we call mask off

What mask? I never claimed otherwise.

“won’t someone PLEASE think of the children” emotional arguments hiding the real goal.

What do you think is the reason for the "real goal"?

The mask is used by politicians trying to hide banning all guns as sensible gun control. I'm just stating that you are telling the truth the politicians will not.

I don't know if you've ever watched The Simpsons but that is a quote from a reactionary trying to get what they want with no real reason so they say it's for the kids. It has been a very successful political tool. Just think of cispa and other various internet censorship and spying tools.

Politicians probably realize banning guns is not going to happen, so putting some reasonable gun control laws in place is a good middle ground. You're talking about a slippery slope fallacy, which does not address if a proposed measure is actually bad in and of itself.

It's literally for the safety of the general public (kids included). How many school shootings does there have to be before it's reasonable to point out "This will help protect children."
Children in the US literally have drills on what to do if there is a school shooting FFS.
