I'm quoting nra la pierre. But I'm used to republicans calling me names.

1. Theyre pro-massacre. Pro-dead kids.

80% plus of Americans support banning war weapons.

Gun huggers are on he wrong side- not just of history, but of what’s right today.

5. Let's see

elite:
a select part of a group that is superior to the rest in terms of ability or qualities

Antonyms of elite:
bad, inferior, poor, second-rate, common, low-class, lower, lower-class, ordinary, worst


Well, there it is

6. I'm fine with calling them gun fetishists.

Three quarters of us can't be bothered with owning a gun. Most gun owners have one or two locked away somewhere and don't think about them much. Most of us with family hunting traditions can't be bothered to hunt even when we have easy access to the necessary tools. (Frankly I'd rather go to Disneyland. If I'm visiting the forest I'll bring a camera, not a gun.)

The gun industry sells most new guns and ammunition to the fetishists, just as the alcohol industry sells most of its booze to alcoholics, something close to 90% of it.

Gun fetishes are disgusting and a public health hazard. We have to empower family, friends, and community to reject gun fetishes, just as drunk driving and smoking in the workplace were rejected.

The first sign that anybody might be a little "off" is that they want to buy guns for anything other than utilitarian purposes.

Gun fetishes need to be denormalized.
