6. Counterproductive reasoning on steroids

As your noted with your inclusion of a nice buffet of the daily insult menu, it's well known that the vast majority of gun owners are not members and a reasonable person (yeah, I know I just blew my whole premise here) would assume that a only a small minority of gun owners are 100 percent on board with the NRA. So why continually throw the NRA dittohead insult and NRA talking points against the very people that 1- have guns so they are a key target audience, 2- are not NRA groupies, and 3- are generally open to effective and reasonable gun control measures?

Ironically enough, most of my exposure to NRA talking points is from gun control folks around here. They aren't the only ones throwing insults around, but regardless of other assessments of who does the worst or most insulting, since the gun controllers are currently the ones trying to change the status quo, they have to convince the gun owners to change their stances and not the other way around.
