(984 posts)Gun owners don't care that you don't want to own a gun, "your loss" to many of them. The request for a reduction in ownership for weapons of any kind is not going to be won by waving around your "lack of understanding", to the other side. I am a progressive, I am for reproductive rights, I am all about minority representation, and yes gun ownership ( if so desired). Tell me how far a conversation on reproductive will go if the other side starts with "I can' t understand why a woman would ever not want to have a baby..." It would be a non-starter, right? I'm not saying I don't understand your position but I'm not sure who it was for. I want us as progressives to move this ball forward on better control and a better background checks because I can tell you the right is clueless. The other side is NOT here for a conversation that starts with the absolutes "Take them all away" or "Why do you need that." My questions for many of you is what's the best "baby step" for a gun/weapon control in your opinion.
