It is a basic principle of psychological warfare and propaganda that the assignment of a name that sticks to somebody or something can make or break that person or entity. A fictional example from the Game of Thrones series exemplifies this. If you're a slave in Meereen, and somebody called the "Mother of Dragons" and "Breaker of Chains" is outside your masters' walls with an army, you'll probably pick up anything you can use as a weapon to join a slave revolt. If we look at a real historical example, serfs who had previously been willing to do almost anything to avoid service in the Russian Army, including knocking out their front teeth so they could not bite open musket cartridges, were eager to follow Aleksandr V. Suvorov, also known as "The Russian Hannibal." He took good care of his soldiers and tended to win lopsided victories with minimal losses to his own side.

"Tricky Dick" stuck similarly to Richard Nixon, but not enough to keep him from becoming president in 1968. We now have "Krazy Kamala" Harris, and "President Houseplant" (courtesy of conservative talk show host Ben Shapiro) Biden. I came up, meanwhile, with "Hamas-American Bund" to equate the entire anti-Israel boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement to Hitler's useful idiots of the late 1930s.
Call Them Firearm Quacks or Anti-Gun Quacks
Supporters of the Second Amendment have depicted their adversaries as "gun-grabbers," but swing voters who do not own guns, much less hoplophobes who would probably like all the guns to be grabbed, do not care about "our" Second Amendment rights. Everybody, however, has nothing but contempt for medical quacks — fake doctors who take desperate patients' money and deliver worse than useless remedies in return. A quack is worse than a fraud, who merely steals money

Just use the dismissive lines they use: “that conspiracy theory has been debunked”, “there are a lot of uneducated people that think...”
Actually a bad idea IMO, in that anyone who goes against conventional wisdom in medicine get the smear of “quack”. (Not that there aren’t legit quacks as well.)
However, the larger idea IMO is right. The left tends to be more effective in framing their opposition. The right should use the tactic more.
Nobody ever whipped my ass by calling me names.
Beware any tough-talking computer guys...
Amendment II and guns of ordinary people were meant to protect the nation from would-be tyrants.
Examples of the continued need for Amendment II and those guns are found in tyrannical actions in once freedom-loving countries that we now read about daily.
I’ll be on the lookout. Thanks for the heads up.

The science is settled, firearm ownership saves lives. Only quacks refuse to accept the science.
Krazy kamala... aw, he’s so sweet and innocent. Everyone knows it’s either Kameltoe or Heels-up Harris.
My label for the left is FRAUDOCRAT.
I prefer Commiela Harris.

I just call gun grabbers “ commies”
Oh
and imagine my surprise when a couple days after posting
Incompetence
Or
Complicity
I turned on tv news and heard that used.
That was a very good day.
Great ideas!
***Richard Nixon, but not enough to keep him from becoming president in 1968.***
I believe the murder of Bobby Kennedy by a Palestinian immigrant had more to do with that than any thing else.
This may be why the anti-gun forces always want to “negotiate” with gun owners to get “some” guns.
But think. WE have the guns. What do they have that we need that we are willing to give up our guns?
They have NOTHING! So all they can do is threaten with new laws to get at our guns.
Again they have NOTHING to offer.
or just use the actual identifier,
Traitorous bastards.
