November 9, 201214 yr Since yesterday, I've found myself engaged in more pro vs anti discussions than in the last year alone. Seems that the pro O anti types are out of the wood work and spewing! Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?
November 9, 201214 yr yes.. my analytic determination: pro-gun rights/2a people vs want to own guns/but don't realize Obama and his cronies ultimately want to take away the 2a rights... but hey- just my view.
November 9, 201214 yr Author The sad part is that if BO lost, these discussions probably wouldn't be happening at this rate.
November 9, 201214 yr I just walked past a theatre that had at least 2 movie posters with the actors holding pistols. Seems Hollywood has been promoting gun violence in the last 3 decades & we are now immune to it. Violence sells. How boring would it be producing movies of hunters hunting, target shooters shooting, etc...
November 9, 201214 yr I have had more than enough pro/anti discussions in the last 2 weeks to last a lifetime. I think the storm brought a lot of it on. Ken
November 9, 201214 yr It's just the nature of everything that's happening around us. There have been a lot of sensationalized media stories about shootings, talk of gun bans, etc, and it's causing the people who are on the fence to jump to one side or the other. The good news about this is that I've noticed a LOT of people actually defending gun rights, people that I never knew had even the faintest interest in firearms. I've gotten in one heated argument on facebook with one guy who I thought was progun, but he turned out to be one of the most emotional knee-jerk reactionists I've ever seen. Aside from that one instance, it's all been progun or neutral.
November 9, 201214 yr It is localized here, anywhere else, a gun is a tool, and people love guns. Give it a bit, our media will find time to talk about something else.

I mean even my Rowan First-shoot, which hardly had any real promotion had like 40 people attend only 4 days after the word got out.
November 9, 201214 yr Author Converted two in the past week... That's awesome! An example of the momentum we need.
