There is no rational to the gun nutter argument, only warped passion focused on the second amendment and imagined government tyranny, and the testosterone-charged impulse to pound one's chest and feel powerful.

I respect that you may honestly believe this. But it is hurtful to read from someone I generally respect. I'm on the other side of this issue and I don't resemble this characterization at all.

Do you think your argument might improve if you left out the belittling and hateful name-calling?
