That's a very thoughtful post. I approve of this approach. Make it clear to irresponsible gun owners that their fellow gun owners do not approve.

And get the NRA to change it's public image from rabid 2A preaching to teaching, encouraging and advocating responsible guns use while condemning and castigating irresponsible use.

Now let's not get unrealistic, here.

This IS the Liberal Gun Club. I mean. Some people would say we crossed the border into unrealistic about three counties back.

Besides, I'll settle for the NRA turning down money from the FSB and denouncing attempts to undermine the rest of the Constitution.

Irresponsible and criminal gun owners are yes just like irresponsible and criminal drivers, irresponsible and criminal cops, irresponsible and criminal physicians, irresponsible and criminal teachers...break the law and you get prosecuted and go to prison. But irresponsible and criminal gun owners are somehow seen as worse human beings because they owned evil guns. The gun was a tool like a motor vehicle, a knife, a hammer...

Yep we do stand out, liberal and gun owner and that's only because political parties and the media define who is a liberal and who is a gun owner. We can be both, it's not mutually exclusive.
