You guys are seriously deluded if you think that the citizens of the States
have a generally pro-gun attitude. Last I checked, more and more gun
rights were being lost each year. Last I checked, Rosie O'Donnell's career
actually improved as a result of her ignorant and hypocritical anti-gun
stance.
If you're saying that you're a supporter of the people who are actively
trying to prevent me from owning guns, which I feel will be necessary to
defend myself from either criminals or a tyrannical government, and if
nothing I say will change your mind, then it's most certainly not "the
end." A potential rape victim may try to change her attacker's mind, but
when that doesn't work she may adopt a new course of action.
