It may not be insulting to many people but my thinking would be If you want to change minds of the neutrals you wouldn't want to sound insulting. I think the problem could also be may pro gun people are trying to give the anti gun people a shot in the arm with more aggressive statement. My question is when trying the change the mind or the fare left do you freak out the people who are not far left. They are the people who would be much easier to sway.
Even if someone is out right wrong about something attacking them will not only hinder them changing there mind it will probably make them dig in deeper just to fight you. I am not saying anyone is doing this in this forum I just always thought the
PR of the pro gun people was flawed.
If all the pro gun people are calling you not free and sheep and saying they want guns to stop the government from doing what it wants it makes them kind of sound like a nut and not a club I want to be part of.
I don't think you have to have a reason to own a gun beyond i want one i am aloud to have one and here is my license proving i am responsible. The marketplace of ideas will take care of the limits and both sides should fight for their ideas. I have just always questioned the strategy of the pro gun lobbies and thought they were shooting themselves in the foot. lol
