(1,954 posts)You use a categorical broadbrush to swipe across gun owners, yet you put the burden on us to compromise ideals for the sake of your continued ability to broadbrush.
Robb, I know you're not an idiot. Likewise, even though I own a gun, I assure you that I'm not a complete moron either. We both know what game each of us is playing at, and I'm proposing a middle-of-the-road compromise. You want gun control? Fine, but it comes at the hands of those who know the topic best, know what will work, and know what won't; the gun owners. I agree that it's the burden of gun owners to act responsibly as both role models and mentors to other/future gun owners, but when our backs are against a wall, the cause of which being fellow Democrats, it's incredibly hard to make headway.
We're trying to ease some of the pressure -from- the left so we can move the dialogue -to- the left.
