I was reading a bit on Va Gov Mcauliffe and I began to wonder "Are Fudds more dangerous to 2A rights than Bloomberg?" He claims that he is a gun owner. Now there is no real reason to doubt him. I could find no pics of him hunting or shooting but I'm sure that's what his focus would be. He will go out ti Iowa as many pols do and get dressed up in hunting cammo and then sit in the blind and not come back with anything.
It seems like fudds (most if not all) are ok with one gun a month. They can't understand why someone would need more than their over under, deer rifle, or duck gun. They're fine with putting all their faith into the gov or police to protect them as they don't see the need to have a concealed carry. They buy into the the black guns are scary. That they're "military grade, rapid fire, assault weapons, that are only meant to kill people. They're ok with background checks. They're ok with mag limits and they're quickly becoming the best friends of anti-gunners. anti-2a groups hold them up as props "see here everyone this is a gun owner and they think we are right".
So how do we stop the spread of Fuddism? When a friend says I'm all for no restrictions but I'm OK with "X". Or when you encounter one at say the range and they say "why do you need a gun like that?" How do we say "hey stop being a jerk and fing it up for the rest of us" with out further turning them against us and maybe getting through to them?
I'm sure that we all see that having the Fudds on our side is important. I'd bet that they are a big portion of the gun owning population of the US. The Second would probably be the Pink Hat Fudds (PHF's trade mark pending). These are the people that have 1 handgun at home for home defense, keep it locked up, unloaded, and never fire it. How do we gt these people to embrace the no restrictions with out pissing them off (or having a stroke when talking to them)?
