There is no talking to some people about this stuff. Fox news and talk radio has convinced so many people to completely shut down rational discussion or compromise for certain buzzwords. Islam, gun control, climate change, etc. Don't get me wrong the left does the same shite but hasn't worked their viewers into a panic frenzy like the right has done. The moment you say "well maybe we could at least look into some limits put on buying and selling guns" a lot of people go absolutely ballistic shouting 2nd amendment stuff and "obama is a communist".

I truly believe on this one issue the right has made a complete straw man in what the Obama administration is trying to do about guns. Each time there's a shooting someone jumps on the news saying "And of course Obama is using this tragedy to push his gun laws". Well no shite... What better time to try and talk about things that could happen in the future than when these shootings happen?

Good post. The far right media have used fear mongering as a tool to degrade what the administration is trying to do. It's fricking evil. I'll be the first to admit the left shoulders blame when it comes to plenty of debated topics, but this issue in particular is really a sight to see. They really come out of the wood works to proclaim their hatred for a man who is "tryna take away my guns!!"

It's baffling and is one of the major reasons I've walked away from the Republican party the last few years. I'm sick of the right trying to scare me into voting a certain way.
