The vast majority of gun owners are not like many/most of us...that's a fact. They don't believe in the "all or nothing" attitude that many/most of us have. They will own a shotgun or two, perhaps a handgun or two, and will never own an AK,HK,AR or anything uber tactical. They do not wear tactical vests and participate in IDPA or any other organized shooting activuty. They view those who do as "nuts". They have a self defense gun tucked away that never get's fired. They have a rifle and/or a shotgun that they break out once a year (if ever) to hunt with. They are law abiding citizens and could care less if the government wants to check out their background, or make them wait a week to buy another gun. They don't live in the hood, and they don't venture out after 10pm. They consider themselves safe.
They are not the enemy, they are simply uneducated, and they represent the largest body of support that we can draw from. Waving an AK in the air and calling them dildos, or worse, doesn't seem like an effective way to bring them over. Our first goal should be to define the term "reasonable" for them...as it applies to gun ownership...and personal behaviour.
