Maybe a bit excessive.

While gun control is often a precurser, to genocide, it isn't always. For example, the gun control being passed in South Africa right now is clearly a precurser to genocide. The gun control here, on the other hand, is slightly, oh so very less slightly, less sinister. Gun control here is a precurser to bigger and bigger government. More spending, more taxes , less personal freedom. Also, it is an attempt to make the death penalty unneccessary, and thus getting rid of it, by making crimes that would incur the death penalty less likely by making them more difficult. Ultimately, these efforts have proven themselves to not only be a gross violation of our rights, but also counter-productive. It needs to end. Bring on the C4!
