Subdeacon Joe Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Some good stuff in both the article and the comments. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/10/robert-farago/how-to-start-a-conversation-about-gun-control/#comment-1321019 A left-leaning gun-averse or gun-neutral voter doesn’t want to hearabout the tussle over gun rights or firearm ownership as a bulwarkagainst government tyranny. It’s like pigeonholing a Catholic on thechurch’s coverup of pedophile priests. The discussion forces them toreconsider . . . everything. That’s scary. When people get scared theyeither switch off or get aggressive. Neither is particularly helpful formoving the bullet—I mean ball forward. Luckily, the vast majority of gundecided and anti-gunners arehoplocurious. Why wouldn’t they be? No matter what their politicalpersuasion, they’ve spent thousands of hours watching good guys “solveproblems” with firearms. Chances are excellent they’ve playedgun-oriented video games. And they’ve certainly heard the media demonizeguns before, during and after mass shootings and other firearms-relatedcrimes. So here’s how you tap into that . . . Link to comment
