Re: CATO on 2nd Amendment in 2013

The problem is that we as a group haven't been getting our points across. Everything shows we are right on the issue of gun control. The constitution. The history of gun control. Scholarly works and studies. Common sense. The facts about who commits gun crime, why they did it, and why they weren't prevented. All of it.

All they have is emotion and misrepresentation.

However, their points are easily summed up in soundbites, they have the media on their side, and the bully pulpit of the presidency.

A sizeable portion of gunowners, who should be with us, aren't (the "as long as you leave MY guns alone" crowd) or are hurting more than helping (the Alex Jones, time for revolution, unable to talk about the issue without spittle flying types).

Smells like defeat at the moment.
