My objective is not to persuade anyone but to make uncritical supporters of gun availability feel shitty. I have spent >25 years making reasonable diplomatic arguments for why we need more gun control and trying to meet opponents of same half way. Meanwhile many thousands have died and gun rights proponents have chosen to ignore that and rely on the same old cliche arguments and rhetorical tricks. So I have decided to stop being nice and persuasive and diplomatic and make humiliating remarks at their expense instead. Gun humpers show little respect for others and it is time they were repaid in their own coin.
