If you wish to continue to hold that view, feel free to do so. Obviously nothing I can say will change your view.

Feel free to continue to insult gun rights advocates but don't be surprised if your goals of implementing reforms to our gun control laws are extremely difficult to achieve.

To be honest I see little chance that my efforts to stop both sides of the gun control debate from insulting each other and to find compromise will ever work. Both sides of the debate are firmly cemented in their positions. They will never show any respect for each other and our nation will continue to make absolutely no progress on the issue.

This saddens me.
