The gun-nuts are losing the PR battle.
... and eventually guns will either be banned completely,
or there will be more and more Ruby Ridge events.
One way or the other they are the losers.
The only possible alternative I see is for the so-called "sane gun owners"
to begin dialog with the rest of the community, to get rational gun control.
For example, given a man who has a wife and children, and he wants to have his guns,
but she sees danger and wants to protect her children and herself.
Which is more important, life and freedom from fear ... or... owning a gun ?
Whose rights will prevail ?
If sane gun owners can not answer such a question, guns will eventually be banned completely.
