It seems to me there is a movement about to make this an "emotional "issue so that the opposed can say those for are driven only by emotion and out of control.

First of all, when did it become an insult to frame people's response to taking the life of an innocent person as overly emotional zealotry?

Secondly, why is it a bad to thing to these people, that large groups of people get emotional enough about the laws of this country to make changes. The left ahs been doing it for decades. I never hear critism of Martin Luther King stating he got people overly emotional that his followers were zealots, or that the Revolutionaries were too emotional that they were unruly mobs of zealots.

These people who want to claim me are over reacting with emotion just do not understand that is the system of a Republic.

I agree.

Enthusiasm for a cause can be stifled when other emotions are stifled.
