^^^^^^^
Hasn't been my experience at all. True Anti's will not be swayed, they believe they have all the answers already. Those who are 'agnostic' about firearms CAN be reasoned with, but not anti's. Important to determine which you are talking to, lest you waste your time and theirs.

Of course there are those regressive liberals who are just too dug in to save, but that goes for just about anything.

Agreed, same can be said for Conservatives. But it's really about refusing to be intellectually honest and shouldn't (but does) run down one line (Liberal/Conservative) more than the other. Far Left Liberals have a distinct tendency to make emotionally based decisions.

All I can say is it can be done and just keep at it.

^^^^^^^^^^ Yes, occasionally....but for the most part..its just not worth it. Too little return for the effort expended.


Every person counts and it's important to try to inform as much as you can.

^^^^^ Not really. I'd say SOME people count, others aren't worth the effort. But I agree it is important to "try" as much as you can stand it. But at my age....I just don't have the same tolerance for the willfully ignorant that I used to have. Sounds cynical...I know, but in reality...its just being honest and recognizing we have a very real culture war going on. Not wasting my time on that which is unlikely to be productive.
