You spit on Obama cars? You have political "discussions" with people in traffic?
"And that's why you carry 24x7" so you can "defend" yourself from people that disagree with you?
This is exactly the kind of garbage I left California to get away from. It's nice to be reminded that it exists here, too.
How do you change minds? You change minds by emulating Jesus, Buddha, Ghandi, and Martin Luther King, NOT by emulating an idiot teenager.
As someone that's educated quite a few liberal anti gunners, I'll tell you exactly how, in a nutshell.
1) Listen to them
2) understand what they are concerned about
3) patiently explain that their concerns are valid, and why you don't agree with them
4) Don't act like a loud ignorant fool.
That's how I saw the light, that's how the 40 or so people I've explained pro-gun ness to saw the light, and how more will continue to see the light.
I need a shower.
I wouldnt imagine spitting or damaging someone elses' property. I am sure that you are referring to another poster. In retrospect, ignoring the person would have been "better". I just think that a person that thinks it should be legal to murder a child is someone that doesnt have their head screwed on straight....and being able to defend myself against people like that is the reason I carry 24x7. There is a difference between disagreeing and thinking its Ok to shove a steel tube into a human's skull and suck her brains out....I hope you'd agree with me.
As someone who HAS studied Jesus, Buddha, Ghandi, and MLK jr., outside of JC, I dont know if your advice is sound, but I'll assume that you were thinking the "good" things about them
Glad that you have followed your 4 fold plan to convince people of your ideas, especially #4.
Be sure not to drop the soap
