What do you mean by "anti-gun"? Do you mean those who would ban guns among the public? Do you mean those who want more regulations like better background checks and magazine limits? Or what?

I know people like this and what they lack is examples about the good that guns do all they see is the bad.
So you're talking about a small minority of lefties.

Great job of proving the OP point, that anti gun nuts are totally ignorant on the subject. You've done a stellar job of removing any doubt that you know anything about guns, or gun owners.

"...gun fondlers..." the anti's just can't resist bringing SEX into the discussion!

"...regulations like better background checks..." Yeah, you bet, that recently passed "comprehensive background check" law in Washington State sure prevented that Cascade Mall shooter from killing anybody, didn't it? ALL firearms transfers in the State of Washington MUST have a background check done on the buyer!
Just like the law preventing teenagers from having guns prevented the South Carolina school shooting!

I have no problem with so-called "common sense" firearms regulations. BUT, to me, "common sense" means that such a regulation will do what it is supposed to do.
IMO, those who call for such regulations should have to post a $100,000 bond, payable to ANY victim of firearms violence that occurs AFTER the regulation goes into effect.
In other words, put your money where your mouth is. If your regulation will not PREVENT further acts of gun violence, it is NOT a common sense regulation!

For example 2 schools in Houston (of all places!) canceled the program because it was run by the NRA. Houston Schools to Eddie the Eagle: FOAD - The Truth About Guns
I suppose the 'progressives' running the schools would rather have firearm safety taught by ignorant Hollywood stars than by people who actually know something about firearms.

Another thing people who have an emotional position love to do is throw out personal insults. My favorite are the ones the left uses to describe gun owners like the above mentioned "gun fondlers" .. they've got no other ammunition to use to actually logically counter their arguments. At least the anti-marijuana types try to use facts in their arguments and may even have some validity to some of their arguments, then again we might as well go and ban alcohol too then. I'm sure some of them would support that.

One thing I like to do is use arguments that rip on members of both parties at the same time to show that I'm not biased one way or the other.. I try to use common sense.

My god you are ignorant about guns aren't you. The biggest new "face" of gun ownership is a minority or female. That should help you get to sleep.

It would be laughable if it wasn't such a serious topic.

Eddie Eagle is all about creating future gun buyers. Joe Camel?
