Sorry but it turned out to be a much longer post than I though it would. It's important to me.
If I lose friends then so be it but I WILL stand up for the Second Amendment but in my 66 years on this earth I've learned one thing. The most BLIND people are gun owners.
They are like liberals, in fact they are doing the very same things the left did for years until they GOT SMART.. Heck the gun owners are making the VERY SAME MISTAKE Hillary made. They are FORGETTING about the most important people. The Middle 60%.
The left and the right have always had around 20% each of the population. The right has ALWAYS supported the gun owners and the Second Amendment, the left has always been against both. So that's the left, 20% and the right 20%, that leaves 60% of the population in the MIDDLE. Donald Trump saw that 2 years ago and pulled in more of them than Hillary did, she FORGOT about them.
Think I'm wrong??? Go back on here and other hunting/shooting forms. Post after post after post ALL say the same things, the same things after every single gun bill that might or might not come up. And after every shooting.

We all know who our enemies are, there ARE ever gun owners in just about all those groups. We will NEVER change their minds. YES we must fight them. But we will never win the fight against them and they will never win it against us, they do not matter.
What DOES matter is how many of the Middle 60% they pull toward them and get them to VOTE their way on this issue. THAT is ALL they need to do and nothing else, that's all.
We on the other hand have several problems. We need to defend the Second Amendment as a whole and that can mean defending ALL parts of owning a gun. Look at some posts, there are a lot of gun owners that do not care for the AR-15 type rifles and it would not bother them if they were banned AND taken away. Who do you think they are going to VOTE WITH???? Bump stocks?? Same thing, they will vote with the left again. Stronger background checks, same thing. Raising age, same thing. But it will not only be them but most of the Middle 60%.
This shooting seemed different to me right away, just not the same. All that afternoon and night I watched Fox all day and I could not put my finger on it. The next morning I was watching Fox & Friends, ALWAYS big supporters of the Second Amendment, this time ever their tone was different and that's when I made that post. We've had several school shootings recently, one just a few miles from where I live. All them one after another add up to where people ARE changing their mind. They ARE rethinking the whole gun owning thing.
Maybe it ever sounds like I am. But I can see where OTHER GUN OWNERS will vote with the left. I can see the left getting more and more of the Middle 60% leaving us in the dust. You've seen me say, I would rather lose a battle and win the war. Well like it or not but it's coming down to that. Sure people say give an inch and the "GUN GRAPERS" will take a mile. I'm NOT worried about those gun grapers, I'm worried about the Middle 60% that WILL side with them and they will when they have HAD ENOUGH.
Thank God, Trump is in office. He MIGHT have to give up something to save the rest. But think what we would be talking here if Hillary was in office, she would go after it all and not a couple things.
I would rather give up bumb stocks, stronger back ground checks, raise age and arm the teachers along with more security at the schools than LOSE the AR-15 rifle. It shows the Middle 60% we are SERIOUS about doing something. Is all that going to end it???> Of course not, NOTHING will but if we don't do something all those other people WILL OUT VOTE us and do something we do NOT want.
I'll say one last thing. If we have another major school shooting THIS YEAR we will not be fighting for the AR-15 but the very Second Amendment itself. Then we WILL lose the war.
