Convinced a "Bowling for Columbine" fan the critical need for the 2nd Amendment in less than 5 minutes.
He wasn't a hard liner, he just didn't understand the need of assualt type weapons in the modern age.
He put forth why he thought the the 2nd amendment was added to the constitution. I can't remember his exact thinking or wording but simply told him "No, they put it there so that we wouldn't need to revolt like we had to against the British. It's there so that the government will always have a health fear of the people. Because people in power will alway try to sc--w you over."
THAT he could agree with (we both work at Sprint ;) ). He may not be a gun nut now, but the seed for voting in our favor is planted!
