This is my motorcycle argument with my wife.
I say “You can’t tell me riding a bike is dangerous because you know nothing about it” then I go on to explain that it’s braking, acceleration and cornering is so much better than even when a motorist makes a horrible mistake, it’s nothing to avoid it.
I also explain that “Yeah, cars come into my lane but I have so much room to respond that it’s a non-issue. Just an annoyance.”
And I have yet to convince her.
So this whole thing about telling anti-gunners to learn more about it is NOT going to help your argument. They can’t just read a book or shoot a few shots at a range to “get it”. They need to be one of us, and they need to truly immerse themselves to “get it”.
As a current antibiker....I can tell you that your feeling of extreme maneuverability is a sweet, sweet lie.
My bikes all sang that same song to me. One drunk in a 80’s land battleship quieted their music.
One day I could show you the foot to hip internal titanium rods.
