Reply #20: Please define "the gun lovers"

[slackmaster]

I find it ironic that you would make such a comment as a generality; no specifics at all. I've found that you personally are not forthcoming with information when pressed for details.

Every criticism you have stated here could just as easily apply to the people who argue most fervently either way. The Violence Policy Center is every bit as much of a one-sided propaganda machine as the NRA.

BTW - As I think about this more and more I wonder if you even are aware of the irony of your use of the term "gun lovers" as a perjorative. A few extremists have tried to couple being pro-RKBA with espousing racial prejudice. Of course it's a shallow attempt at guilt by association, but the hypocrisy of a name-caller trying to demonize an arbitrary group of people is self-evident.

I don't love guns any more than I love garden tools. I do value the freedom to own them, as I value other basic civil rights.
