Laz, I understand and agree with your principles, but now is not the time for politicking. The gun grabbers and everyone else with a political agenda need to take a step back and respect the grief of these families.

I know my FRiends here may disagree. But exploiting a tragedy like this, in addition to it not being respectful of the grief of the families, even for a good cause, is a good way to enrage and enflame the very people you are trying to convince. This approach is not going to resonate with people who are on the fence or disagree with you, and I promise that it will backfire.

Sorry. I wish I could comply. But the enemy of freedom is on the march. If I say and do nothing, then they will win.

I don’t see any exploitation.

I see a big flaw in logic of people wringing their hands over a nut killing 20 children some years after their birth and zero concern about millions of people killing their own babies before they take their first breath.

Which is the truly defenseless victim?

How to phrase this for maximum impact....

When we stop caring about the ‘feelings’ of the opposition or fence sitters and ram reality down their throats whether they like it or not and start shaming them with it, there is a hope they wil self-reflect.

If they don’t they are every bit the human garbage they present themselves as.

We tried nice. And to quote Patrick Swayze, it’s time to not be nice. Personally I don’t want guns to end up banned because I was to meek to ‘offend’. Do you?
