Make gun owners the new PARIAH
Just like smokers in public. This is HOW it can be done. SHUN them, and their guns. Yes, that especially includes family members.

1. I am not going to shun my loved ones.
Cutting off productive communication is not the way to peace, in my opinion.

2. So my sister, brother-in-law, dad, nephews, uncles...why not make criminals pariah's?
Not one family member I know has ever harmed anyone with a gun, and my dad has a ccw (though he does not use it).
50 million gun owners and a few misuse them so we want to brand them all?
Reminds me of how the RW reacted after to 9/11 to certain people in society.
Yeah that crazy right wing blaming militant Islamic groups for the terror attack that they unleashed on us.

10. Relax, your family's guns are considered more valuable than the lives of urban children in DC.
The right to own an implement of mass death is more sacrosanct than the right to not die of hunger or preventable disease.
Guess we can't have pressure cookers anymore either, since they can be used as an implement of mass death.

30. There were 57 votes in the Senate today to effectively gut every state gun control law.
57 votes for the NRA's 'reciprocity' wet dream which would have allowed anyone with a permit from any state to carry a weapon in all 50 states.
Congress does not give a shit about how many dead children arise from the uncontrolled flow of guns in this country.
Congress wants to make it easier for mass murdering psychopaths to get weapons.
Gun owners are the most politically privileged group in the country outside of the bankers.
You are an idiot. There are plenty of laws already designed to help keep guns out of the hands of psychopaths and so far they have stopped zero of these events. Only an idiot would think that just one more law will do the trick.

27. Yes
I don't want my grandkids in any home with guns - I plan on calling every parent in my grandson's class.
**** em if they don't like it.
I wouldn't my grandchildren in the home of any DUmmy.

34. I Don't Know ONE
liberal who owns a gun.
If I meet one...we won't be buddies or even acquaintances.
True liberals don't need Glocks - or assault weapons.
Put your money where your mouth is and put a huge "Gun Free Zone" sign in front of your house.

45. **** Guns and The People Who Buy Them
for supporting the billion dollar gun industry, who then supports the ****ers at the NRA and all the other evil asshole pro-gun organizations.
Bravo brave liberals - don't eat Monsanto tomatoes, or buy Georgia Pacific Koch paper - support the NRA instead.
Now we get to the root of the problem. Gun manufacturers and sellers make profits, and we all know profit is evil, unless you are a DUmmy and they can profit all they want.

21. I have been putting my foot down for 40 years
NO, our children will NOT be taken shooting. YES, your guns WILL be in a combination safe where the children cannot see or have access to them. NO, I will not go anywhere with you while you are CARRYING YOUR gun. NO, I will not go with you to a shooting range. NO, I do not want you to buy ME a gun.
Our now adult daughters, son-in-law, brother-in-law: WE do not not want you in OUR HOME if you bring your gun into it.
Neighbors: From me, you will NOT be allowed in my home with your
gun.
WE don't have this right? Personally, would like to see OPEN carry so I can AVOID YOU. Don't like that? TOUGH. MY choice trumps YOUR choice on all of the above.
She needs a gun free zone sign in front of her house too.
I doubt anyone would argue against her not allowing armed people in her house, that is her choice. Yet she would happily deny you and I our choice to have guns in our homes.
