Is everybody in the EU government a complete idiot?
Thats just it - they are very clever !!
They takes a degree of devious intelligence to scare the sheeple into "big brother will protect you" type legislation.

And a higher degree of stupidity to fall for it!

It's not stupidity to fall for it, just misinformed.
Doctors used to think (and still do in some countries...) that the practice of bleeding released bad spirits from the head. I might look like stupidity 3000 years later when there is so much more known about treating mental illness, but back then they didn't know any better.
These days, the information is available, it's just hidden away and known by those in gun clubs. 9 out of 10 people won't know the difference between a black powder pistol or a glock. All they know is that guns are bad and anyone who has one only has one to kill people.
Clubs don't help themselves these days, with many hiding themselves away and being cagey with anyone not already known by an existing member. This isn't all clubs, of course.

Being a journalist doesn't free them from the firearms act, lock them up.

I've seen today, a proposed EU regulation banning muzzle loading firearms "in the name of defeating terrorism..."
