71. When you're dealing

with the "cold dead hands" hardcore gun fetishists, reason doesn't work. They hide behind the Second Amendment as if it were a shield, and spew NRA propaganda from that "protected" place. They use statistics which have been cherry-picked by the NRA, and put them forth as the absolute final proof that guns for everybody is the only solution to an over-rated and media-driven gun problem in this country.

They also like to believe that they speak for "80,000,000" American gun owners, most of which are responsible and agree with many of the gun control measures being considered. The gun activists that frequent the right-wing Gungeon on DU, and other right-wing Internet gun sites, are in no way representative of typical American gun owners in general.

The obvious truth is that yes, the unfettered proliferation of guns in this nation is a big problem and those owners who deny that fact are a large part of the problem because they enable the NRA to buy and bully politicians.
