I've thought about this issue alot over the years, and the way I see it, there are three groups we, as gun owners need to concern ourselves with..
1. The antis.. we know them. We don't need it reinforced that they are against our way of life.
2. Ourselves.. Gun owners can be just as destructive, and sometimes more, by their own actions as #1 above.
3. The great masses that are riding the fence on the question of gun ownership. And this group is the most important! It would be nice to have them on our side, but in most cases that is probably not going to happen, so, the best we can hope for is to keep them right on the fence where they have always been. This is far preferable than having them sway to the other side. To do this, we need to project the image of ourselves as sane, mainstream Americans, just like the great masses that ride that fence...
