Here's a fun suggestion to put to any Bolshie gun grabber (but I repeat myself) : Float the idea of a religious component to background checks, ie no guns for Muslims!
You don't have to seriously believe in it, want it, give it any serious thought, just try it out as a Bolshie mindfuck experiment.
Light the blue touch paper, step a few paces back and then watch their eyes roll back in their heads before the inevitable explosion...

That along with asking them if it could be determined a baby would be "born gay," what if that people started getting the test so they could abort?

Superb! :)
I think there's a rich vein to be mined here, that complements the Liberal Logic 101 memes...

It's one thing to claim that one will do a thing. Doing it is another thing entirely.

As I read this, the state-bootlicking UK Daily Mail has its panties in a twist because Zuckerberg and a couple of similar billionaires chose to target massive infusions of their wealth to charities they personally selected, instead of vountarily filtering that same cash through their respective governments in taxes, to be pissed away on all their usual stupid, useless, and counterproductive boondoggles.

Viewed in that fashion, I think we ought to be extolling these people as shining examples of liberty. If I could do the same, I surely would. Wouldn’t you?

But he then turns around and uses his inordinate influence to exploit government's coercive power to subordinate everyone else's interests to his.

You can't have it both ways, or at least, you and I can't.
