Well see if the Supreme Court ruling, "Brandenburg .v Ohio" has any say on that....

i actually heard this video on morning radio. the topic? radical gun owners of course.....

people like the man in this video, HURT our cause more than they could ever help. again, fuel to the fire for the "assault weapon ban" advocates.

"Radical" gun owners might paint us in a weird light, but come on... anti gunners are mostly going to stay anti-gun..
It's the "Radical gun owners" who scare the politicians... I say God bless 'em.

There are still plenty that don't know what to think. Its not wise to pull a romney and just assume whole swaths of the population are against you. I couldn't care less what the brady bunch thinks of JW, Im more interested in where the truly uneducated masses land on this. There are millions of them.

i disagree on this completely. an honest, law abiding gun owner should NEVER scare anybody! (except the criminal element )

its fear among the firearm uneducated that will push this whole ban into popularity. you'd be surprised how many people can be swayed.....when given the right information, in the correct way, by someone they respect.

this is the reason sensible gun owners must publicly denounce radical and especially threatening statements (i mean also, besides the fact that it is just wrong....)

and imo, the radical speech and actions will push many normal people away from something, or teach them to fear it. neither is good.

again, i think there is already those who are doing all in their power to paint guns and gun owners as radical and unneeded. i'm sure they all wet themselves with joy when some nut case makes a video threatening violence.

just because someone is uneducated or inexperienced with firearms doesn't mean they hate guns. let's not give these people a reason to hate them. look at how many people, knowing little about guns, rushed to gun stores to buy up guns for fear of a ban.

imo, gun owners have to be the most respectful and responsible to represent the fact that gun ownership, hunting, and shooting sports are both safe and acceptable for all.
