This thread among others got me thinking: what's the use of many people here preaching to the converted on the RKBA issue and constantly venting spleen against so-called "antis" with a string of nasty names? In addition to voting, why not speak out in a polite, informed manner in broader forums where others can hear and perhaps begin to rethink views?
Perhaps this or some other thread could act as a sort of hub. When someone finds an anti-RKBA editorial or editorial cartoon in a magazine or their local paper, they could link or post it here with contact info for the publication. (Perhaps some site already does this sort of thing?)
Then everyone with a will and a way could write in, refuting its claims while illustrating that gun owners aren't some tiny fringe minority but actually a very large group of (mostly) ordinary, rational people. Needless to say, hard facts and total civility would be helpful in such an effort. Resorting to name-calling or assuming "no one will change their mind, so why bother?" is a counterproductive cop-out.
