yes, that is probably the worst evil of them all, but people have been deceived by gun lobbyists so we who are aware need to advocate, but that involved diplomacy and finesse, you have to move the people before you can have a movement, and that involves working with all and respecting all of their ideas, feelings and opinions, even if they are dangerously out of step with reality. small victories win the war in the long run..
