That's why it's SO important to throw their own words back in their faces, to show every contradiction, and to expose every lie.Disclosure: I have been away for several days and have NOT read the whole thread, only the first couple of responses.
Someone in the first few responses mentioned the anti's being a lot better funded, I agree with this. Bloomberg by himself probably spends way more per year than the whole NRA.
What may have been mentioned (which isn't stopping me from posting this) is that the anti's are very good at manipulating language. They don't say exactly what they really mean, they say what they think will sell well. So for example they almost never say they want to ban all guns, rather they say they want "common-sense" reforms. This totally fits the leftist perspective that everything is "optics" and/or a "narrative", never mind actual facts, facts don't even exist for them. Unsurprisingly, they also fund "research" that totally misrepresents the data presented.
Like the Holocaust denial movement, the anti-gun movement is based on deceit and the assumed ignorance of the target audience. That has to be fought at EVERY turn.
