However, you'll need to work on the "self-righteously judgemental" part-
you're nowhere near the level of the Greatest Legal Mind Of Upper Canada
or some of the more prolix posters at Gun Control Reform Activism.

As for getting a plurality of voters to see things your way? That's kind of
a lost cause, as those you lot fear and/or like to insult tend to vote at
a far higher rate than your sort does...
