Changing tactics with the anti-gun crowd.

[Tim01]

I don't know what the numbers really are, but I think I have a pretty good idea.
There is a number of us pro-second amendment folks, and that number is growing.
There is also a small number of anti-gun people.
Then there is a very very big number of average people who really don't care that much either way.

The anti-gun people don't listen to reason and resort to insults, because they have nothing else. They will not change their mind and will not stop arguing. They just *feel* really strongly about guns so they want things to be a certain way. It isn't a good use of my time and effort to argue with them unless they are influencing members of the "average people" group. So I am mostly going to try to ignore them or stay out, or get out of disagreements about penis size or how scary guns look or bazookas or whatever.

The "average people" don't follow these things too much. They just don't care. They want things to be fair and right but that's about it. When they hear over and over "assault weapons are bad, assault weapons are deadly, assault weapons are evil, we should ban assault weapons and cop killer bullets and high cap mags", well after a while they believe it. Not surprising, the lies are the only information they are getting.
I have influenced democrats in real life recently. People who should know better really, hunters, competition shooters. But they didn't keep up with what was true and what was not. I actually had to explain to a former member of the army pistol team that hunters are not going after deer with fully auto rifles. And I had a hard time convincing him. I did get him straightened out, and he's kind of pissed now. He feels he has been tricked. So we now have a new pro-2nd amendment democrat who is getting the word out to others. This was a good use of my time and effort. And so this is where I am going to try to focus my effort ,where it can do some good.
This is just what I am going to try to do.
