Ok, we have a good 120K people out there that hate guns… Now we are not going to be able to change their views about guns, however we may be able to divert them. They clam that children are dieing every day from gun accidents, well what efforts have they made to prevent those accidents? The single most powerful tool that can be used to curve those numbers is education. Why aren’t they pushing for a program that show students in our school system from an early age what firearms are and how they operate? Sure they should be though that at home, but there are people out there that don’t educate their kids and this makes up the majority of the people that have accidents.
Sure there are people in that 120k that just want your guns incinerated, but if they start to lose that “save the children” mentality and just have that “take your guns away” mentality then they will lose public support. And in the end, that’s what we want.
One thing to remember though, one activist is equal to a 100 voters – so keep that in mind.
