19. Actually that cartoon sums up the argument

The NRA wants people to think laws restricting Handguns are also aimed at their rifles and shotguns. The NRA wants people to act like the character on the left. The NRA do NOT want such people to even listen to a person drawn on the Right for they are NOT saying opposing statements. Once the person on the left accepts that (and this is best done as the person of the right is doing, non-confrontational) you have him or her half converted to what the person on the left is advocating. We have to talk and talk often like the person of the right to persons like that on the right. They may not listen to us at first, but they will once they accept the fact that what the person on the right is correct.

I would advise people to keep that cartoon and show it to people who oppose gun control, it gives them something to laugh about for it makes sense. Getting people to think that the other side have good arguments is the first step to getting them to change.
