I've come to the conclusion that people like that aren't worth my time. I'd rather spend my time and energy taking several people shooting who are interested in shooting and might have never had the opportunity than waste my breath on one uneducated idiot. I simply don't have enough time, energy, or love in me to try to undo what a lifetime of societal bombardment of propaganda has done to one person, when I have friends who are budding gun enthusiasts begging me to take them to the range so they can shoot my new 1911.

Driftrider: you've proved my point exactly. Most mainstream people (including liberals) have respect for other's property. Its the leftwing radicals who hate property yet are the first to have their hands out begging for handouts.[:@]

I bet she would love that.[8D]

Very good point there.

My wife experianced something similar to this. She works retail and in striking up conversation with a lady that was waiting on her husband the topic of me being in gunsmithing school came up and from what my wife said she got really offended about me being a gunsmith and almost left the store. Oh how I would have loved to be there at that moment.

To make a long conversation short:
First thing I always ask is "Have you ever shot a gun?" Usually the answer is no and then I ask them how is it possible that they can have that opinion about guns if they have never taken the time to actually be educated and taught about proper gun handling and shooting. I then ask them when was the last time that they actually saw or heard of any gun getting up on its own loading itself and then pulling its own trigger and killing someone. The answer is always never and I then ask how could it be the gun that is the bad one here and make it very clear that it's the people behind the guns that are the responsible parties of accidental and intentional killings.

Basically I just try to make them actually think about what they are choosing to believe about the so called "bad" guns.

I got two, a sticker in the front and the back.

People are swayed by the media. And the media shows hundreds of shootings a year. If the media showed every drunk driver that killed someone else on the highway there would be anti alcohol stickers everywhere. The media sucks point blank.

People learn from what they are showed and taught. We as gun owners need to instruct and teach people about safety and responsibility of gun ownership. All they see is some trashy person on the news killing people. Theres alot more to it than what they see. Be helpful to our gun rights and explain things to those people don't go calling them idiots.

No, but it doesn't surprise me at all! I have heard of some school boards, in their zeal to be "politically correct", have refused to use the Eddie Eagle firearms safety training program because it came from the NRA! Guess they place political correctness above the lives of their children!! The stupid S.O.B.'s!!
