10. "Most" gun owners abandoned the discussion by granting free reign to the gun nutters' extremism

The so-called responsible gun owners, assuming they aren't mythical like a unicorn or minotaur, lost a voice in the discussion by permitting the nutters' to get away with crap like open carry, stand your ground, unpunished vigilantism, guns on school grounds and whatever common sense defying laws and proposals they have shoved down our throats over the years. These alleged people made up their minds years ago where they stand on the gun issue - and that side is clearly not the one that values liberty and safety for their fellow Americans. They will not receive any respect from me.
