It’s us against them…
I had an interesting chat with Alan Korwin at the NRA AM, and had forgotten about it until I was listening to the Pub’s convention tonight, and it reminded me of our conversation…
Words have meaning. Use your words wisely, especially when countering the antis…
| They say:
Guns kill |
We say:
Guns save lives |
| Guns cause crime | Guns stop crime |
| Guns are bad | Guns are why America is still free |
| Assault weapons are bad | Assault is a type of behavior |
| Guns are so dangerous | Guns are supposed to be dangerous |
| Guns are too dangerous to own | You should take a safety class |
| People shouldn’t have guns | Maybe you shouldn’t have one |
| Guns should be totally outlawed | Let’s try that with drugs first |
| The purpose of a gun is to kill | The purpose of a gun is to protect |
| People don’t need guns | Only good people need guns |
| Guns should go away | Then you should personally sign up to never have a gun in your life, as you would ask of me |
| They should take away all the guns | Bad guys first |
| They should take away all the guns because they’re so dangerous |
Who exactly is “they” you would give all these dangerous guns to? |
| Gun owners should be registered | Bad guys first |
| Gun owners should be registered to help stop crime |
So, how would writing my name on a government list help stop crime? |
| We need more gun laws | Criminal activity is already banned |
| Why would anyone want to own a gun? |
You’re kidding, right? You mean you really don’t know? Well, why do you think we give guns to the police? |
| I’m not against people having guns | What sort of guns do you think people should have, and why |
| Do you really have a gun? | Of course, don’t you? |

Excellent chart – to the printer James !!
Yes! To be printed ASAP.
Depends on what the meaning of Is is…
gfa
X2 (haha)
The increase in gun sales may mean that we have won/are winning the middle ground.
I suspect the anti gun side will never be happy until “something” is done about we gun owners.
The ideological conflict is between those who believe in live and let live, and I believe the far majority of gun owners are live and let live people.
The other folks want to control every aspect of other people’s lives.
In all my experience on the range, no one has ever tried shooting and left the range angry.
Fantastic. Going to copy and leave where some of my new anti-gun friends can find.
All- Thanks for the comments!
Posted from my iPhone.
Excellent list. Logical and concise … two things which the Leftists/gun banners/hoplophobes are not.
amen amen!!!
NFO, it never ceases to amaze me how they twist words to fit their agenda.
And fine, if they don’t want guns, don’t have any. But don’t try to take that right away from me.
Great one!
Copied and saved to me “Talk to a Lib” file.
Pamela- Agreed!!!
drjim- Good!
Sorry, but the gun grabbers don’t give a rat’s a^& what we say. It is just an interruption in their narrative.
When the subject comes up, my response is usually, “I don’t waste my time arguing with fools”.
I’d post it on FB, but those who should get it, won’t.
