When the Anti-gun Crazy Gets Turned Up to 11

When the anti-gun crazy gets turned up to 11, it’s amazing what can sound like a good idea during an elevator pitch.

And isolation doesn’t make the crazy go away.

This should serve as a cautionary tale for any who identify with a particular ideology. There’s always the risk that you will limit yourself to conversations with those who already agree with you. This kind of echo chamber can make you believe that everyone agrees with you since everyone you know agrees with you. ”How could McGovern lose? Everyone I know voted for him” goes the quote attributed to a New York film critic in 1972. That critic and her liberal pals all inhabited the same little bubble and assumed that the universe was indeed contained within their little bubble.

A similar bubble universe has blown into existence at Robert Redford’s The Sundance Channel. For reasons that will escape anyone who isn’t part of that little universe, a “family drama” called Cold Dead Hands has been green-lighted by the powers that be at Sundance.

The antis make fools of themselves when the don't talk to anyone outside of their little world. It's important that we avoid making the same mistake. We need to avoid an "in-universe" style of argument when defending our rights. We accomplish more with our friends and neighbors when we make the 2nd Amendment more relevant to their lives.

Lol.

That's exactly what I thought when I read "11."

The “tipping point” that others mention - it’s a rapidly shrinking vision in the rear view mirror.

Resistance. Restoration. Retribution.

The time for talk and compromise is over.
