re: #19 Rightwingconspirator

I could not answer your question above about the wingnuts gun habits without speculating about them.

The dickish are those that wrote the hate letters. The stalkers. Etc. Not you or anyone here, not Skip. And since Skip did not reference the NRA I see no tie to that definition. Of course one would normally give a gun owner the same benefit of the doubt we give car owners. Once taught the safety and operation, and after some practice- that’s a responsible driver until they drive irresponsibly. Same as a gun owner or user.

Let me try for the umpteenth time to present my point in a way you can comprehend from me. It sucks to lump good people in with bad ,like the subtitle.

The problem with this analogy is that we do not have the NCA (National Car Association) vigorously and successfully lobbying for unrestricted driving and for car features (e.g., side mounted chainsaws) that make them more lethal when someone decides to drive them through a crowd of people on a sidewalk.

If such an organization existed, you bet there would be more broad brushing of car drivers in general.

I suspect it is very difficult for gun owners to appreciate just how thoroughly the NRA has poisoned things for people whose only exposure to gun politics is often via the NRA’s insanity and the responses to it.
