Every time one of these grisly mass shootings happens there is a run on gun stores and a lot of them end up completely depleted as the RKBA junkies stock up, certain that the slaughter is just a ruse to take away their guns.

They don’t need to hear it from Alex Jones, they don’t need to coordinate. It’s spontaneous.

The fanaticism around guns is wholly irrational and since so many on the right maintain a permanent state of rage it’s hard to imagine this not getting a lot worse.

While I am pro-right to bear arms, I am not a fanatic and hope that you don't see me as one. One size does not fit all.

I have told you directly that I respect your views and understand the difference in our backgrounds. I would absolutely love to have a conversation with you about this; I think there would be some raised voices but no insults and that in the end we would find our differences are not as broad as we thought.

If I have not said so before let me say it now in this forum: I do not consider you to be a fanatic. You have been in combat, I haven't; you grew up with guns; I did not.

We cool?
