(1,747 posts)Yes, and we apologize for not doing more. For decades, liberals have stayed silent and allowed the most vicious, dishonest, and extreme elements of our society to dominate the discourse around guns.
There should have been bitter invective.
There should have been outrage every time a right-wing lie was spouted.
DU should have banned the 3% of its members who are utterly unable to think for themselves because GunMania has fried their brains.
Ridiculous and idiotic notions like "no one should be shamed for exercising their Constitutional rights" should have gotten people sneered at and called terrrible names. When a racist exercises his or her Constitutional rights, I shame them, and so do most liberals; we don't remove their right to free speech, we respond with better speech.
And yes, insulting the gun-lovers is better speech.
It can make a better world, just as insulting racists can make a better world.
