The brief, filed by a team of attorneys that includes noted Second Amendment lawyer, scholar and author Stephen P.

Connecticut rights group joins in brief for state gun law challenge
'Liberal' gun group member proposes online campaign to #EndGunShaming
Having had time to think more on this, some other thoughts now occur to me. First, the shame is not on gun owners, it is on the people stooping to insults and crudities. I refuse to feel shame for some obnoxious troll's many character defects. And why engage with someone essentially screaming insults? You would ignore and put distance between yourself and someone doing that in the real world (keeping the option of defending yourself open if need be), so why not practice the same prudent discipline in the virtual one? [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes it’s just like Opposite Day “progressives” to expect us to be ashamed by their offensive behavior.

I haven't seen the NAGR fundraising note that this is responding to--a link would have helped. [SEE UPDATE TWO, BELOW]
Rhetoric aside, there is one point that needs to be made in re background checks, from no less a source than the feds: "Effectiveness depends on the ability to reduce straw purchasing, requiring gun registration and an easy gun transfer process."
So this isn't about siding with either group, or pointing out flaws, or questioning motives, or effectiveness, or tactics, or anything else--plenty of other places will host that conversation. The discussion I'm inviting here centers on that core point.
Is it debatable?

Funny thing about those photos--it looks like most of the people are facing inward, meaning it looks like attention-seekers were outnumbered by observers... [More]
Say, Here's an Idea...
Maybe we could have a Con-Con or something... [More]
Seeing as how NRA, quite properly, assessed campaign finance limits were well within the scope of that "single issue," perhaps they're ready next time to give Wayne's "true champion of the Second Amendment" the "F" he deserves.

It's what Prozis do to get control--over everything. [More]
It's telling: Even when reporting deception they continue to repeat it, by choosing the photo they did and making no mention of this.
