The right to keep and bear arms is a human right. It should only be abrogated due to severely negative actions by an individual, and only for that individual; in other words, for a violent felon, for example. A lot of folks in this world are simply ignorant of that fact.

Yes, and the way to attack those attacking us on this is to put those faces out front, just like our enemies do. Less old white males and more women and ethic minorities putting out our message. A good campaign would also include people who came from countries where gun ownership is prohibited or restricted talking about how those limitations did damage to their lives, loved ones, and communities. The NRA is way late in putting people like Colin Noir in prominent positions. We know who owns and shoots guns in this country, we see them at the range.....children, women, African-Americans, Hispanics, Arab/Muslims, Asians, Native Americans, and others, and the rest of the country needs to see them too.

I looked at the poll after it was mentioned here....but I have to ask did you look through the comments? There were too many too skim through them all, but I skimmed through many of the "newest." They were dominated by extreme leftist vitriol. Gun owners are called racists, murderers, child molesters, perverts, traitors, insane, America hating terrorists, fearful, KKKers, filthy, paranoid, losers, lazy leeches, worthless, hicks, primitive, fear mongers, Nazis, evil, small minded, treasonous fascists, incipient mass murderers, delusional obsessive little men, depressed, obese, Tim McVeigh wannabes, school shooters in training, Hateriots, undereducated fanatics, imbeciles, and thugs.

All that in just two pages of comments. This level of hatred, vitriol, and demonization is too focused and repetitive to be random. This editorial and a number of the comments are the product of a campaign of demonization. At the very minimum this administration is trying to Balkanize the population and incite violence, and I suspect something worse may be in the works.

Edited to add:

BTW, I see the same editorial is printed in the Salt Lake Tribune. It is followed by the same kind of focused comments demonizing gun owners as terrorists.

This is an Obama shill conditioning exercise intended to help facilitate exactly the actions the author claims are unjustified concerns. We are all more scary and dangerous than Arab terrorists. There is no need for such demonization unless our concerns are justified.
