40. I don't want to assign motives to them
or say they're cowardly or anything like that.

That would just be mean and uncalled for.

I know why I prefer to see things change. I'll confess: since the MacDonald decision I think I'm more interested in changing our culture than restricting law-abiding gun owners. But I'm still deeply sympathetic to gun control arguments.

But I don't want my opinion based on accusing people who are pro-gun of just being "nuts."

How is THAT supposed to help?

Likewise, calling people who are pro-gun control "fascist gun-grabbers" doesn't help.

In all my gun control supporting days never once have I ever sat there rubbing my hands together cackling that once I had locked up all the guns I could put my plans for world domination into effect.

Dude, I can't even get my roommate's cat to stop peeing on my couch! How am I supposed to dominate the world, the US or even my own apartment?
