I agreeThe problem is people need to come together as a group and organize in a way that is effective. When you reach such a large size and level of organization, you presence is felt as a group.
The problem with a lot of these conservative groups, and political groups in general, is they're inherently exploitative and self serving -- the NRA being the worst of them. There needs to be a group dedicated to not just a cause in name, but helping people think independently and realizing how they're being exploited by politicians for political gain. There needs to be a group with the genuine interest and betterment of the minds of people at heart, and not just after the wallets of the people. People who passively consume -- whether opinion or commodity (if there is even a difference) -- are pacified cattle being harvested for votes.
We must all become advocates for free thought. If we help people become active mental participants, we free them by giving them a choice; for it is choice that is inexorably part of being free.
I talk to anti gunners quite often......I love debating them, the facts are never on their side.
But........one huge mistake we have been making for years is trying to reason with anti gunners with logic. We need to stop with the "its our right" and the second amendment thing.....it doesnt work.....they dont care.
Ive found the best way to reach them is through fear.
I know that sounds terrible but im telling you it works.
Create a scenario where they can picture it in their mind.
A good start is to show them video of actual self defense situations.
Then make them put themselves or their loved ones in those situations.
Two guys kick in your door, they have guns, they take your 15 year old daughter into the basement.......dont you wish you had a gun to even the odds a bit?
Show them videos of robbers taking a wallet, then shooting the victim dead.
"Experts" say to just do what they say and you MIGHT be ok........dont you wish you could fight back?
There are countless scenarios you can have them picture..... The videos show them that bad things happen ALL the time.
Im telling everyone.....the 2nd amendment argument falls on deaf ears.
We must make them value their loved ones lives enough to not let the government take away their only form of defense.
Let them know that its much easier to keep our rights than to regain our rights.
There is nothing better to convert an anti gunner than a good pistol whipping or rape. But video is the best we have to show them that.
Ive seen several antis change their minds completely after a traumatic event in their lives. We need to take the "mass shootings" and "its for the kids" out of the conversation and make it about personal freedoms and self defense.
Youre not gonna care much about mass shootings while youre being raped!!
