Is Anti-NRA vitriol increasing? I ask this because of the comments to news stories and a Public Radio program “1A” that asked the question “Why Can’t We Talk About Guns?” (Short answer, it’s hard to engage with folk that see nothing wrong with phrases like “gun nut”, “gun fetishist” and “NRA Terrorist”.
Seems like a year, a year and a half ago stories about ‘gun violence’ would have quite a lot of pro-gun folk putting in their comments which by and large were reasonable. Now, there’s a LOT of anti-NRA comments being posted---even the story about the police shooting the unarmed Australian woman which had no NRA connection at all.
Here’s the stories I mentioned. These stories have all allowed comments.
