- angersock 9y ago>* One of the consequences of your argument is that the only opinions that matter in the gun debate are those of gun enthusiasts.* So, I see where you'd be getting that impression, but that's not what I mean to convey. I don't think that you have to be a "gun enthusiast" to have a worthwhile opinion on public policy--you just have to have some actual first-hand experience and knowledge of the thing. My concern is that it seems like the majority of people who push for gun control are not educated in firearms safety or operation, and so are vocal but easily mislead.
