2. I don't agree with this opinion piece...

the problem is not that Democrats don't understand "rural America"... the problem is lobbyists, the NRA, anti-government people, etc. misleading/lying to create fear and apprehension...

I grew up in rural America, with guns in the house... most of the people around me were hunters... most all measures that us more "liberal" folk want will not deny people their hunting guns and ability to have guns for security...

the problem is lack of empathy, honest communication and some people's refusal to think critically
