Gun control advocate Andy Parker threatens Senator!

People will often grab hold of a position due to emotion but once they seriously think it thru (often with outside help) they realize that their initial stance was flawed.

There's your problem, assuming against all evidence that they're GOING to "seriously think it thru".

I don't think I've seen two anti-gun cultists in two hundred seriously think ANYTHING thru. I HAVE seen them do a LOT of pretty clumsy lying.

I'm disengaging on that one before the mods raise their collective eyebrows, but the crux of my post was, "As I've said before many times, you just can't trust a passionately self-righteous zealot to stay within the bounds of social propriety."

Just to return to basicblur's OP.
