No Jim, there is no middle ground. Those of us who own and use guns don't trust the likes of you and your ilk. I've watched this debate rage for 40 years. It's always the same. Gun owners are portrayed as ignorant, toothless, inbred rednecks who don't have a clue. In fact, it is the anti-gunners who don't have a clue. Obama and Bloomberg still don't know the difference between a semi-automatic and a fully automatic weapon. Bloomberg's recent anti-gun ad shows a guy sitting on a tailgate with his shotgun on his lap, finger on the trigger and a child playing nearby. Nobody I know would do that. So when you gun haters say "I hunt" or "I own guns" or some other caveat, we don't believe you. Just like when you say "Nobody is going to take your guns." On the contrary, Feinstein and the rest have stated their intentions for the record in the past. All they have to work with is emotion, name calling and exploiting tragedies. Then they trot out their latest plan for "minor, common sense gun laws" which usually includes a ban on entire classes of weapons. In their little polyanna world, modern refined people don't need guns. There's not one talking point in the anti-gun arsenal that that has any basis in fact. Gun control works? Nope. Gun free zones are safer? Nope. Blood on the streets from concealed carry? Nope. More guns equals more crime? We better hope not, since Obama has sold 70 million of them in the last four years. That also lays waste to the strawman argument that 90% of the people support stronger gun laws. The anti-gun crowd - at all levels - has no credibility at all. Why should we compromise? In the public arena of facts and ideas, we're winning.
