responsible legislation against the gun lobby like the gunners do we will get somewhere.

34% or households, or thereabouts, own guns. Of that 34% only a small vocal fraction have the frothing of the mouth attitude about guns. So what, 10 or 15% of rabid spittle flingers get to dictate policy to the nation?

Get off your ass and vote. Support a gun control organization of your choice, email and call your congress critter and write LTTEs.

They do and it works.

and very vocal minority who attempt to dominate the national conversation with half-truths and outright lies, are loudest on the Internet. The number of right-wing gun lobby sites vastly outnumbers Liberal gun control sites, and almost all of them have a web presence just to sell more guns. They use the fear of confiscation by Liberal Democrats as a marketing tool, and the TeaBillies eat it up.

I could tone it down a bit, but, I admit it, I do enjoy their mewling about the existence of a place on the internet where they aren't allowed to idolatrize their preciousses

in the Gungeon, and he took the same flak from the same "mewlers." I have had that place trashed for a couple of years, and never willingly go there. On occasion, someone will send me a PM about something gunners have posted over there. Recently, however, it seems like they are obsessed with some of my posts and are cross-posting them.

All I can say is thanks for the wider exposure of my support for reasonable and Constitutional gun control...
