I’d be more than happy to answer any questions you have about my transition from gun scaredy cat to gun appreciator. I really like this site, and I am glad I found it. And no, I am not a troll. I promise! I read every day I just haven't had much to add to the discussion, but this felt like a good one for me to pop into.
Welcome aboard, GG. I hope you like TFL. You might also want to check out The High Road, the sister sight. Many folks here post on both.
I just wanted to mention that I have heard many a time the conversion of an anti gunner to be a pro gun rights person, once their eyes have been opened to the truth about firearms and the Second Amendment. I, personally, have yet to meet or hear about even one person who was pro gun rights or pro second amendment, and then converted to the other side. Why do you suppose that is? I have my theories, and I'm sure others here do as well. Why don't we openly explore those theories. I think it would be fun to hear them.
Please invite other democrats, who you know and lean towards gun control or don't understand the 2nd A., to come here and share the real truth. It's like manna from heaven. Most humans want to know the truth. The truth is a big part of being free and living in a free country. At least it used to be. The truth is usually, inherently, logical. That's a piece of my theory on why anti gunners can be converted to pro gun rights, while pro gun rights folks cannot easily be converted to become anti gunners. I'm sure there are cases where it's happened, but I'm not personally aware of any. I am personally aware of dozens of anti gunners or pro gun control folks who have fallen for the truth.
