Oregon ballot measure to ban "Assault" Weapons

[BjornF16]

Bjorn / Guys:

Don't have to tell me this. I have been around these guys since the late 60's.

That's why its stupid to even try to talk with them about these things. So I don't.

Talk with those who you know aren't leftists. Most don't own guns but I bet almost all vote.

I feel your pain

I've run into a few myself. They aren't interested in listening or learning. They've made up their minds and won't budge. I had a surprising conversation with another F-16 pilot who is a progressive. At the end of the "conversation", I respectfully suggested if he couldn't honor his oath to "protect and defend the Constitution", then he should resign his commission :p...he didn't care for that suggestion.

I do talk with "moderates" who don't know much about firearms but who have initially bought into the propaganda. I typically offer to take them shooting and introduce them to hands-on facts. I've even converted some Brits to realizing that AR-15s aren't evil...
