The global warming claim could equally, actually better, apply to your side more. GW deniers and GC advocates use studies authored largely by economists and non area specialists and funded by foundations with a political agenda.

Most are not right wing
Maybe you should look up the word analogy, it was a really poor one. Blood pumping? Not only do I deny this, it is total bullshit.
blinded by ideology? Could equally apply to your side if not more. Most GCA here are lucky to make a coherent paragraph on the issue.
Why Glocks? How about upholstered Walthers?

This is a political discussion board. If you think it's bigotry to take shots at certain right-wing political opinions, maybe you need to grow a little skin. I get that not all pro-gunners are right-wing, anti-intellectual, or paranoid, and I've never claimed that they are all like that. Not all Rush Limbaugh listeners are right-wing, anti-intellectual, or paranoid either. But I don't think you'd be crying "bigotry" if I used the phrase "paranoid Rush Limbaugh listener". The only reason you think it's bigotry to criticize pro-gunners is because you are a pro-gunner. But it's not like I'm saying anything that's actually "bigoted".

For example? I only speak for myself. IIRC, mine have been specific examples that more to do with sub culture or region.

And, by the way, the pro-gunners here take plenty of shots at "antis" but nobody seems to complain about "bigotry" there. I wonder why that is? What makes "antis" so different from pro-gunners that it's OK to call them all sorts of things, but when you say that pro-gunners are paranoid, suddenly it's "bigotry"? Is it because you disagree with "antis", so then it's OK to call them names? Don't you think that's a bit of a double standard?

Can you show examples similar shots toward antis that would be bigoted? In the past leaders of gun control groups in the past wanted to achieve x. Is it paranoid to ask if anything short of x is part of an incremental strategy? While many antis are reasonable, informed on current laws and the issue, and honest people. Many are not all three. Most are honest and reasonable, but have no clue what the current laws are or the definitions of the buzz words they repeat.
