Great point.  But then again, Dems don't want to deprive themselves, only you.  Al Gore lectures us on climate change yet flits around in his private gas guzzling jet and lives in a house that consumes 10x the energy of a normal home.  It's OK cause he's a Democrat but you have to conserve so he can waste.  You need to give up your guns so he and his buddies won't face armed resistance when they take over the government. Makes perfect sense to them.
