Fact based Youtube argument against AWB

[hso]

There's a great couple of videos to send to as many people as possible who are susceptible to logical arguments.

I suggest you also use this somewhat like a training video to provide guidance on unbiased sources of information for use and on good argument technique for us.

I would guess that most anti-gun folks would, 1: refuse to watch the videos in the first place, claiming that they would not believe anything from the pro-gun crowd; and 2: if they watched these videos, they would say it didn't make them think any differently about the issue because they KNOW that guns are bad and should be banned. So much of America, especially in the large cities where the bulk of the population resides, are so used to having their gun rights restricted that they have come to believe that it is the only possibility. I have relatives in the NY area that are not gun owners, who have never even fired a firearm in their lives, who acknowledge that the police cannot possibly arrive in time to protect them from an intruder, who still cling to their anti-gun perspective (I often hear about "keeping a baseball bat by the bedside". When I tell them that I would rather have my 357mag revolver, or my 45acp semi automatic at the bedside, they just look at me with confusion. Maybe I'm just old, but I have given up trying to convince the idiots of what is totally obvious and real to me.
