You old "farts" are the only ones I get along with anymore! 
All people my age spend their stupid money on *gasp*...clothes!!
By "presenting the truth" and "...it's that simple" I meant that we counter the onslaught of lies that brainwash with an onslaught of truth. Like what they do...but in reverse. We counter the lies with truth. Yup, an uphill battle all the way. One thing to add, and it's just my inexperienced youthful mind reeling...but the ones who will not listen to reason or logical systems of thought are screwed up anyway. They have no foundation for growth or even stablitly of their thought. And since thought usually dictates most actions, their actions are on shaky ground as well. Logic is the ONLY basis for solid systems of belief. Without it, they simply cannot stand the tests (mainly: skepticism). People that are irrational must have their actions forced and dictated. They will sway with every curent trend. Gee, sounds a lot like 95% of the current society, doesn't it? The gun rights issue is a system. It's logical construction is what makes it so strong. So, all we have to do is try to convey that logical structured truth to people, show them why, and the rational ones (the only ones that really matter any) will respond positively. Sure, most people will call me a gun-toting warmonger who loves violence. But...those are the people who don't love logic. And I don't care what illogical people have to say. It's a constant fight, a fight against not only lies but of indifference. We must fortify ourselves with the bulwarks of truth that we may be able to stand strong against the offensive of lies. And after we have done that -- then we counter. There is nothing else that can be done to defeat lies but to replace them with truth. And that's simple (at least in theory). It's a hard execution, but simple in design.
