The joy of analogies.

"Sure, playing golf itself is relatively safe, but you just never know if some of those people, after they play, might do something irresponsible and dangerous like get together for a beer or something, so because some people might abuse the privilege, we're forced to deny that freedom to everyone. It's the only way to be safe."

Hey, let's apply that very same argument to guns:

"Sure, guns are perfectly safe in the hands of most people, but you just never know if some of those people, after they buy a gun, might do something irresponsible and dangerous like shoot their ex-girlfriend, so because some people might abuse the privilege of owning a gun, we're forced to deny that right to everyone. It's the only way to be safe."

Aren't analogies fun?
