Gun culture among liberals is not the same corrosive, moral decadence it is among the typical NRA gun nut. Liberals engage in their Constitutionally protected rights in gun play that is enlightening, as privileged sport frivolity, socially evolutionary ritual that denotes power and success, and isn't that what the 'American Dream' is all about? On the other hand gun advocates as of those of the NRA, take their guns much too seriously, in a sort of collective primal rage, and that's where the danger of the gun lobby lies. So any argument that liberals are decidedly hypocritical in general, and regarding guns in particular, is moot.

A couple of years ago when my wife was taking her CC class, there was a young couple there and the girl had never shot a gun in her life and was scared to death of guns. She was so upset when they got to the range she was crying. After mudh encouragement (and maybe a few promises), they got her to shoot a .22 pistol. By the time they finished she was all smiles and said, “That was fun! Can we shoot some more?”

Moral of the story, take a liberal shooting and you may convert one of them over from the dark side.

I don’t get you. That is an elitist argument. Are you telling me liberals are elitist?

Liberals are better people, therefore only they should be allowed to use Guns. NRA are bad people and should be quiet instead of advocating for greater liberty?

What is actually happening is that an issue that never should have been partisan to begin with is leaking out of its ideological envelope. It’s been going on for some time now. That is very threatening to those who use that ideological envelope to manipulate people.

Stereotypes of the hunter as the backwoods, toothless animal-killer span pop culture, from Elmer Fudd to South Park's Uncle Jimbo — the gun-totin', do-what-I-want wacko who hunts despite laws passed by "the Democrats." He tells Cartman and friends to yell, "It's coming right for us!" before shooting so that even rabbit hunting can be explained in court as a matter of self-defense.

They can't use self defense as an excuse after the Colorado legislature passed P#$$& Law #4: "No animal shall be harmed, even in self defense, unless specific license and season is in order. Self defense can only be justified by extreme, provable peril and or docummented visible bodily harm." Now they have to kill to thin the herd to keep the animals from starving.

Correction: only white hunters fit this description. The "indigenous pipples" (whether Native Americans, Australian aborigines, or Africans) were able to kill their game with integrity because they were a part of nature's "great circle of life." Only Clem is alienated from nature (probably because he believes in Genesis).
