I kinda thought that line was funny.

This is sliding pretty far off topic, but if you want to see a couple of Australian actors nail American accents check out Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce in L.A. Confidential. These are the main two characters in the movie so they are on-screen a lot. I watched the entire thing *twice* and never suspected they weren't Americans until I saw an interview with the actors on the DVD.

Oh, and its a great movie so you don't have to rent it just to check out their accents :)
 
George Hill -- someone mentioned he might be anti in a previous post and tried to reference the movie, I was responding to that. But he could have very well refused to do the line or have the anti-NRA crap up, I really don't think they would have stopped the movie for that, do you. Considering the stupid things that we hear/read in the news that people do, yes I believe there are alot of people out there who emulate what they see on tv/movies and why we still have many accidents envolving firearms.

papercut -- I guess I would have thought the line was funny if it wasn't for the fact that a medias blitz against gun owners was ongoing and trying to demonize us and then followed up with the poster just pissed me off, you know?

I'm glad that he did this movie and is speaking out for the right to bear arms, perhaps his sentiments towards NRA was due to media bs about JBT reference about the Waco fiasco. I hope this is really is stance on the Second Amendment, cause a lot of people are influenced by what they see on tv/movies.
 
The media blitz varies... it is often against the NRA but not always against gun owners.

You would be surprised at how many gun owners I have had to correct on the "cop-killer" bullet lie or various other distortions of the issue. A lot of these guys were 100% pro-RKBA but were anti-NRA because they didn't know anything more than what they had read in the news.

Ignorance is our main enemy and we have to be the educators here. This task is even tougher since there are people who are deliberately distorting the issue mixed in among the genuinely ignorant.

I know for me it is always hard to supress the emotional reaction of "You bloody moron!" and ask "Why do you think that?" but I will say that the patient and questioning approach pays off a lot better.

If I can just get them to question what they think they know about the gun debate and look for further information, I don't need to fully convert them. They will convert themselves.
 
The antis are just using their outrage to push their cause back in front of the public. Much as they want to rewrite history. there is just so much they can change.

By the way, I was in New York the other day & noticed a laser tag arcade in Times Sq! Now what the hell is the difference?
