which do you think will defuse the situation faster
Offer them crumpets and tea while explaining why supply side economics is bullshit or put a .357 in their face and make it clear they have three choices.

Most of the time they will pick choice one. I can't imagine anyone not high on PCP choosing number three.

You think favorable view of the NRA is "commonsense"? They are extremely right wing and liars.

Interestingly, respondents support tough laws, strong regulation, and no guns in churches/stores.
