It's very simple: If you want new gun control laws, you need the cooperation of legal gun owners. [View all]
I would suggest to those of you that have been pissing on them since Newtown-
Knock it off. You are not going to browbeat them into agreeing with you or shame them into 'seeing the light'.
Quit treating them the way Pamela Geller treats Muslims
You have learned today what indulging in cultural warfare will get you-
Nothing
So, unless you'd like gun control to go the way of alcohol prohibition, stop otherizing them.
You are not automatically smarter or better educated than they are, most of them are just as law abiding as you are.
There are about 80 million of them and they tend to vote far more often than the public at large.
So unless and until you are prepared to permanently forgo the votes of 20-25% of the voting pool,
a change of attitude on your part is in order.
And for you bitter-enders that won't let go: Please consider leaving the Democratic Party
Go form and form some sort of Gun Safety/Control Party.
There's even a role model for you:

7. The point, however, is valid.
Referring to anyone who owns a gun as a "fetishist" is no way to persuade those people to agree with you.
Advocating that gun owners be rounded up and "re-educated" isn't working so hot either.
And the constant refrain of "**** the gun fondlers!!!!!" has really gotten old.
Everyone is free to speak their mind of course, but don't act surprised when your words turn out to have consequences
.
But plenty of this:

135. Wrong. We need to go on the offensive against the obstructionist.
The gun strokers are holding this nation back. **** them.

Dear DUchebags, what happens when 80 million gun owners say enough and come to your door?
You lose.

This is hilarious.

The supporters of the Second Amendment in no way resemble the Prohibitionist Party, who wanted to prohibit a widely-popular activity.
On the other hand.....well, you get the idea.

I routinely practice 800+ yard shots with both .308 and .338 Lapua.
I'm not coming to their door, and they're still going to lose.

The little goosestepping morons are fun when they talk trash. Can't wait till one of them finally gets stupid enough to actually try and take guns from those that will use them and it is their freinds and neighbors and relatives that stop them.

The idea of attracting more flies with honey than vinegar completely eludes them. In fact, they want to spew venom and they want others to humbly accept it. For being the intelligensia, they certainly have a lot to learn about everyday life.

If they want to control gun violence, they need to sweep out these urban ghettos Lyndon Johnson created with his Great Society and start sticking gang members in jail.
-
What the DUmmies really mean: If you want to confiscate everyone's guns, then they need many more and more deadly mass killings. They would gladly stand on the graves of children to achieve their goal of disarming everyone but their lord and savior, the government.

But that's what all of you little tyrants want. You're admitting it. C'mon, don't be bashful. Stand proudly with your Marxist self.

To be completely fair, he didn't create them. He made them 500% worse.

With a .338 Lapua? Okay, maybe not knocking on their door . . . but you're still standing in their driveway, rhetorically. :tongue:
(Glad you're back here, BC!)

Yeah the .338 out of a TRG will really "reach out and touch someone".
Wish the damned rounds didn't cost as much as most dimocrats houses though.
