See what's missing? That's right, a lot of things including gun violence. This goes a long way to explaining why the internet presence of gun-control supporters pales in comparison to the gun-rights advocates.
People who own guns and are passionate about them tend to be much more actively involved in the issue than people who don't own guns. It makes sense. And it highlights another oddity about the gun-rights movement.
Gun bloggers have their priorities mixed up. They tend to be one-issue folks who have insufficient concern for all the other important categories in that pie chart. Gun-control supporters on the other hand tend to have more balance and more common sense when prioritizing their concerns.

ReplyDeleteAnd yet almost every single post on this blog has to do with gun violence and how guns should be regulated... how does that show "more balance and more common sense when prioritizing their concerns?"

ReplyDeleteI believe I have been telling you that for a couple of years now. How about you and the other anti's discuss it at your next anti-gun show or anti-gun club meeting. You also might want to make it a topic at the next annual meeting and convention you have.

ReplyDeleteThere are 300 million other people who can be concerned with the other categories. I concern myself with the one that is most important to me.
You got me, Jim. I'm as bad as you guys. But my point was to explain why there aren't another 100 or 200 bloggers like me doing the gun control thing.
ReplyDeleteThis also explains why a lot of pro-gun support is grass roots while most antis employee astroturf.
