re: #9 Rightwingconspirator

Skip has a habit of broad brushing all gun owners into the kind of thing we see above. If you don’t see it at this point, not sure how to make it clear to you.

It depends on the definitions being employed of “responsible gun owner” and “irresponsible gun owner”.

It is a tendentious (but defensible) move to silently use the NRA’s definitions of these terms. NRA ideology has all gun owners as by definition “responsible gun owners” unless/until they commit a gun-related crime. Thus the hooting and hollering described in the OP is necessarily from “responsible gun owners” (so defined), since there is no evidence that these people have committed gun-related crimes.
