Granted, thosed weren't exactly questions that required a whole lot of thinking on behalf of the respondent, but toss those softballs at any of the members of the Karl Marx Admiration Society currently vying for the Democrat nomination for president, and see what kind of straight-forward response you (don't) get.

Question:
Some people argue that the Second Amendment means different things in different places, and it's OK for New York City or Chicago to impose more restrictions on gun owners' rights than it is in Tennessee or Montana. Do you agree with that view?

"A person's home is their castle. They have the right to protect themselves in their own home."
Translation:
What's that? You want to protect yourself outside your home? Yeah, right. What do you think you are, free?
