We are right. Beyond any doubt right. The only way to prove it would be for the antis to try it our way for once. That will never happen.
Pretty good article. Thanks for posting the linky.

That's exactly how we get no where... You can't even have a discussion that starts with "we're right and you're wrong".
Some good points in the article.
Look, demographics are shifting. The media puts laser-beam focus on incidents of gun violence and has contributed to a situation where any mentally ill person knows how to get the attention that they want. That media influence can sway the broad more neutrally-minded majority. Old hard-core conservatives are dying off with the demographics and social changes. And we've got significant division between 2nd amendment groups.
Digging in is not a good long game option.
How about if the antis stop using ridiculous terminology like "gun violence". I own 52 firearms and not a single one of them has ever shown any violent attributes. If the antis can actually start to carry on an intelligent conversation about actual facts instead of feelings, which is about 99% of their argument we might make some progress.
Until then I will continue to dig in my heels, thank you very much.
