I am not saying they are not. I am saying their opinion in the future might not be the same as what they have right now. That is all.
And that is what that poster said, that people's ideas do change through time. Are these people supposed to just sit on their hands for 5 years & THEN come out? Because people like you think they're too emotional therefore can't articulate? That's ridiculous.
Ordered a few lowers, and parts. When i'm done i'll have 4 complete. And some extra lowers i'm not sure what i'll do with. Maybe build something in a larger caliber..

I've never suggested that.
All I am saying is that their opinions might be different five years from now.
When somebody's emotions are raw, their opinions can be on the "extreme" side. That is all.
I think these trauma survivors should work with trauma counselors first. Work through their emotions before becoming the activists. I am not saying this to be mean, I am saying this based on what I have learned from my survivor support group. What they believe in right now might not be what they believe in (say, 5 years from now) Just sayin'.

Yes, you did suggest that, as evidenced by your post I just quoted.
Most of you sound like the children in the room and the adults are the teens - so much ridiculous chatter - where are the real men don’t need toys to hide behind. Some out right obssessed !!
say something and becoming activists are two completely different things.
Being an activist IS saying something. One doesn't have to go thru therapy for 5 years to know how they feel about something.
