I find range time to be very effective, but simply handling a gun can have a very positive effect.

If the media were not a lying libtrash propaganda machine, there would be very few libtards regurgitating their lies.

The holocaust would not have happened without propaganda to mislead the masses.

Tell them that your guns are none of their business.

Done with talking to them. That all ended November 2008. Universally, without exception, their attitude has been and always will be “guns for me, but none for thee.” Liberal leftist mentality in a nutshell. They may come to the point of owning a gun. Even liking it. But they remain the same lot who will support government directives to have them registered, and will even support confiscation so long as it only applies to others, and not themselves. Witness the vociferous proponents of “reasonable gun laws.” I, therefore, refuse to help them acquire arms or learn of their use. They made their bed. Now let them sleep in it.

From the post:
When gun control advocates popularized the term “assault rifle,” they did more to harm gun rights than any other of our opponents’ Machiavellian maneuvers. Vast swathes of America believe that commonly available “assault rifles” are fully-automatic rifles.
That is planned:
"The semi-automatic weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's
confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic
assault weapons anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to
be a machine gun can only increase that chance of public support for
restrictions on these weapons."

-- Josh Sugarman, 1988, Violence Policy Center.

Good article, but I would point out that full auto weapons are NOT illegal.
They simply require a Class III Federal Firearms license.
Which are not easy to obtain.

The three things I tell Liberals about guns is:

1. Not you.

2. Not mine.

3. Not ever.

“Machine guns are illegal” is hardly a principled position to take in arguing guns with liberals. If it’s somehow good that they’re illegal, why can’t anything and everything else be illegal too?

Ask them if they’d consider privately held guns safe if .01 percent (one tenth of one percent) of these firearms owners were involved in some kind of fatal shooting.

Math was never my strong suit in school, but... Doesn't .01 percent = one-hundredth of a percent? If so, I think the writer meant to say .10 percent is one-tenth of one percent.

Regardless of my fuzziness on math, I agree that fatal shootings involving privately held guns are very, very infrequent occurences, statistically speaking.

Look at the absurdity of our PC anti-violence culture in schools where a cub scout pocket knife or even a butter knife is regarded as almost a weapon of mass destruction. During my high school years most of the student’s cars in the parking lot had shot guns during pheasant season and there was never a Columbine type incident anywhere.

My response, what about my right to privacy?

It leaves them looking a bit confused.

Machine guns are not illegal per se, just highly regulated and punitively taxed.
