You keep coming back with this "Don't let a 6 year old buy a gun" tripe. No, 6 year old's can't by guns. They can't buy cars, cigarettes, alcohol or F'n airplanes either. A lot manufacturers are required to notify the public of recalls; Cars, Child car seats, drug companies, aircraft, boats, etc.
Yep.. you are absolutely right... and so saying that gun laws don't work or aren't necessary is just plain wrong.. and paints us in a bad light.
Please stop. True Patriots don't care if there are people that perceive that we are "making it easy for the anti gun crowd". The anti gun crowd sure as heck doesn't care what we think and every little inch you give them the more miles they try to take. I don't appease when it comes to my rights. I don't give inches, I take miles.[/
Please.. You are an anti gunners wet dream. The fact is that gun owners in this country are a minority.. not a majority. and if we do not recognize that fact that public relations plays a role in maintaining our freedoms.. then we are just plain stupid. There is a vast amount of folks in this country that know nothing about guns.. they are not for them or against them per se. but they do listen to both sides of the issue. Now.. if they are listening to gun owners preach how they are "REAL PATRIOTS" and how no gun laws work, and how no regulation of guns should ever be allowed....
And they compare to an Anti gunner saying there needs to be "reasonable gun control"... we look like the extremists.
You can say how that doesn't matter all you want.. but it does.. and quite frankly, I get tired have having to give thousands of dollars to lobby for my freedoms because some ideologues don't want to listen to reason and rather howl at the moon how they are real patriots.
It isn't appeasement.. its smart. Turtledude said it:

regulating use is OK with me as long as its sensible
That's our message and then we get people to listen why particular laws.. such as background checks, etc are NOT SENSIBLE... cause THATS an easy sell. For example... the Sandy Hook Shooter shot his mother and stole her weapons... so Obama wants background checks? How would that work.
Reasonable people who don't know about guns.. do respond to that. Not to the no regulation, True PATRIOT crap you espouse.
