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.

I disagree. You're approaching the question from the standpoint of logic and reason....the antis only approach the question from emotion. The reason they won't teach gun safety in school that it would normalize the use and possession of guns. Their plan to eliminate guns requires demonization and stigmatization.

Then I failed... because I was attempting to approach that last question from the standpoint of satire and humor.

To be fair shouldn't we restrict the political term branding on both sides of the isle?
There has to be an entire subset of marketers that come up with these spin terms... I'll bet they do pretty well.
