Just like the fundies, they are a small but vocal group. People are sick of their shit and they're sick of senseless death. I don't want to get shot going to the store/mall/work by some loon whose wife left him or whatever craziness he has dreamed up. Gunners keep trying to convince us that guns are less evil than cars, or it's all suicides, or blah blah blah. But people have woken up and they're tired of reading about the most senseless, horrific killings. I don't give a damn if hundreds of thousands of people no longer have their "hobby" if it means that toddlers won't be shooting each other in the face. I don't care if it's just one kid. It's so ridiculous that we accept that in this country.
