“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.

In a sense, you are correct. But the manipulation is of those who are reflexively anti-Second Amendment. The article challenges them to think about the issue.

The “gun owners should watch anti-gun videos” is obviously a throw away to appear even handed.

The reason is obvious. If someone watches both sides, they are moved to the pro-Second Amendment side, or toward nuetral.

It almost never happens the other way.

The reason is clear. The anti-Second Amendment side is trumpeted by the Progressive, main stream media daily. Second Amendment supporters cannot avoid it. Seeing more anti-Second Amendment videos has almost no effect.
