I've found that in the general public, there are really very few virulent anti-gunners. There are a lot more who may not be gun-owners, and are more fence-sitters on the issue.

I've found that when I simply make a remark to the effect that, "Any time a politician wants to inhibit or undermine my ability to protect myself, my loved ones or the people around me, I have to ask 'why?'," it seems to at least get them thinking.

Except for those that have had a gun tragedy in their lives, the people I know that do not hunt or own any, really don’t ever think about them.

Mentioning how long it takes to get the police on the line, and then to get them to show up while you’re under direct threat also makes them think.

Protect yourself NOW, or wait ten to fifteen minutes? What’s your take when it’s your, your spouse, and your children’s lives on the line?

Even a Lefty starts squirming when you ask them this.
