Gun control debate issues that bother me. Will Libertarians and Republicans please address these?

Look at how they're using all of the other legislation. Its only a matter of time until they start using what's contained in the bills they pass.

Yeah, I understand. I'm not blind to corruption, but killing innocents isn't exactly on the agenda.

The Awlaki incident is special because of certain situations concerning it.

1) He posed an imminent threat.

2) He was fighting alongside an enemy of the United States - Al Queda

3) In the chaos of Yemen, there was no way to arrest him.

Killing innocents is on the agenda when they're deemed collateral damage from a drone strike, among other things.
