[Full Court]

All the rhetoric regarding firearms is essentially useless, and convinced nobody. Preaching to the choir or preaching to a group of people who hate firearms irrationally is a worthless activity.

You are absolutely incorrect.

We need to make our voice herad, and be loud and clear about the 2nd.

Whether we change the minds of the left out there is moot.

Our vocalness needs to continue so that our government hears us, and those we vote for.

"Our vocalness needs to continue so that our government hears us, and those we vote for."

Yeah? And so...how's that working out for you, then?

No one here thinks otherwise.... But is mocking and ridiculing this woman over a very normal fear of the unknown ~furthering~ the cause of the 2nd ammendment, or making the 2nd ammendment look like the cause of mean spirited bullies and rednecks?

The advice she got was pretty good, coming from a psychologist.

This woman needs to be introduced to firearms safely and without ridicule, for her marriage, for her own peice of mind, and for the benefit of the image of all gun owners. It's EASY to change hearts and minds on guns. I've done it. Many times over. Not through ridicule, but through safe, positive instruction that understands the fear that comes from mere lack of exposure.
