After my schizophrenic relative killed themselves I refuse to enable or mock those with problems. I wish you all the best, going to have to put you on ignore.
they are raising a fuse because they have stirred up a hornet's nest, and they are about to get swarmed,

Perhaps most important, organizers hired a professional signature-gathering firm to supplement the grass-roots effort. The extent of involvement by outside interests is a subject of dispute; contributors to Carno's campaign organization remain anonymous under tax law.

Among those approached with a recall petition was Morse, during a quick stop at a supermarket. "Devil incarnate, but couldn't pick him out of a lineup," he scoffed. (He did not sign.)'
Ok, I hate to do it but I'm going to ask... What in the world does this have to do with anything meaningful happening in the world today?

They have no clue, the OP thought they were being slick, made a useless thread, then ran for the hills after he/she was called out....

As soon as the OP used the term "gun nut" , they lost all credibilty.

Nice stereotyping. Do you do that with everyone or just people that don't agree with you? It also shows that you aren't getting to know your "enemy" in this fight. There are some gun owners that do fit your stereotypical view but there are many others that do not. I have a BS and MBA degrees and make my living in the information technology field. I live in the suburbs and drive a Japanese sedan. I have never owned a pickup truck. My dentist carries a gun while he works on his patients. My dermatologist is a gun enthusiast. Based on the number of decals of the Browning logo on car in my neighborhood, more than half of the households are gun owners. My neighborhood has lawyers, corporate pilots, small business owners, etc.

I'm not asking you to change your mind about guns but at least learn about them and the people who own them.
