Colorado passes Gun Control Laws

Background checks are a good idea, Period.

And yet you have aligned yourself with (and credulously repeat the talking points of) people who are dead set against those checks. Your behavior is interesting.

insult me personally - that I am a child-like, fume inhaling, hallucinating, idiot.

I said your "credulousnesss" was child-like; it is. The word idiot was in the context of Stalin's notion of a useful idiot—meaning someone who believes the surface rhetoric of a movement that has no morals, such as Stalinism or, say, the NRA. You claim to utterly and completely accept the surface rhetoric of the NRA, which makes you appear to be, yes, a "useful idiot."

the balance of my allies on this issue

You have no "allies" on this issue; you're either the catamite or the pimp, and I don't see you pimping.

Are you honestly surprised that, in victory, the villain reveals his true colors, Lemur?

Hitler widely proclaimed that his intention was to destroy democracy - he accomplished his goal.

ICSD is no villain, and references to Hitler are always boring, unless, you know, you're talking about 1930s–1940s Europe. Here's the thing about Hitler references: they're boring no matter who uses them.

ICSD is a true believer, relishing in the defeat of moderation. Paradoxically, declaring that that this compromise could have worked, but not in its current form. As if his "allies" will permit any other form.

True believers are many unpleasant things, but they aren't villains as such.

But I suppose for pragmatists and moderates, true believers are the real enemy, whether they be left, right, or loony. There's nothing like an idealist with the One Holy Truth (whatever its formulation) to do damage. And then pat themselves on the back for their wondrous accomplishment.
