(53,035 posts)that assault weapons are insane and no one needs them. I think you've invented a straw man here. The poll surveys gun owners, just as it surveys those who don't own guns. Polls never get to know anyone. They are simple surveys of public opinion at a particular point in time.
I have no problem with gun owners. I live in a state where hunting is common. The problem is the gun lobby and those who support their efforts to block reform.
I don't see why the feelings of gun owners need any more nurturing than anyone else. You're adults, perfectly capable of advancing your own interests, whatever those may be. And if you field a few insults, welcome to the club. Everyone does. Owning guns doesn't make you exempt from the ravages of internet discourse.
