Education is the cure for indoctrination.
I couldn't agree more. On a sad side note, it's ironic that our public school system these days is the source of, rather than the cure for indoctrination.
Gun Rights supporters have done so. We have come to the conclusion that those who support Gun Control laws are living in a delusion bubble that restricts their ability to absorb rational thought. They see the problem as being the tool de jour, today it is guns, tomorrow it is knives, ad nauseum. We see the tool as a means to prevent what history has demonstrated time and again, that those in power seek to increase their power and that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
We are the vanguard against tyranny.
“She called for them to reach outside their comfort zone and consider the possibility that ownership of guns might have positive aspects.”
Cries of “Traitor! Child-killer! Racist! Trumppie! Misogynist!” from the other side in 3, 2,1...
Seriously, as much as I agree with her, the anti-gun crowd will drown this women in hate and venom. They’ll pound her until she apologizes and retracts her statements. She’ll be lucky to have a job and a un-burned down home when they get finished with her. If you are a Leftie, there is no such thing as “reaching across the aisle”.
Sorry, but in the eyes of the Soros-funded astroturf organizations such as Moms Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety, just being married to a gun owner disqualifies you from having an opinion.
As soon as I read the first few sentences, I figured that Hickok45 was a factor here. Checked the source article and sure enough, the gentleman from Tennessee was featured prominently. He used to be a teacher, you know.
Why does that guy in the photo hate children?
She may have also noticed that guns weren’t going off constantly by themselves down at the police station.
The real problem is that some people seem to be immune from being educated.
Since when is owning a firearm a “sub-culture”?
How can this author be married to a gun owner? Do they never talk? Is she somehow removed from the topic?
“Education is the cure for indoctrination.”
Except I read the article. Her husband is a gun owner and she is obviously FIRMLY in the gun control camp, aka anti-2A. She is also obviously educated in psychology (hint).
The entire article is an exercise in manipulation. Suggesting that gun owners watch videos of the gun control crowd to “bring people together” is asserting that a compromise of 2A is possible.
Aka honey vs. vinegar to get 2A supporters to the table to discuss gun control.
Everyone needs to pause and reevaluate Ammoland’s article; Weingarten misses Hassett-Walker’s ulterior motive completely, as it has nothing to do with softening the gun control argument whatsoever.
“...how much these guns mean to those who own them.”
I get away from anyone who has that problem.
