I agree that it's better to have a conversation with the person. A card is too "businessy". The main problem with the antis is that they don't really see us a normal people, they usually tend to think of gun carriers as cowboys or criminals. If you can't get them to see you as a normal person you're never going to convince them.
However, if you can't engage in a conversation with them a card with the highlights of your argument might help you win them over. What you put on the card depends on your reasons for carrying. Some people carry for religious reasons, others for moral, others for self-preservation, and some because the constitution says they can. (There are others but those are the most common reasons.)
Now if I was going to design a card I would make sure to put the scripture of Luke 22:36.
What is it with people trying to slip religion into everything? If you hand that card to anyone who isn't christian, they're likely to dismiss it right then and there. I know I'd trash it the second I came across that s***. It's also a bit disturbing that you carry because of religion. It will come across as some kind of jihadist/crusader crap.
Just goes to show how the self-proclaimed protectors of the constitution really feel...
Why is it that the anti-religious are so much more viscious than those whom the deride for the same?
I don't see any 'insertion' of religion into the fray... I see "supporting evidence." For those who don't beleive in anything biblical, why not just overlook it? Why throw the whole thing out just becaue of that? Look what you did! You decided to throw out the whole concept of pro-gun just because of it... I'e never seen or heard of a modern catholic declaring Jihad... But those who hate them do it every chance they get.... Even cutting off their own nose to spite their face.
People with faces commit rape... And, well, you have a face, so everything that comes out of it must be worthless, and you're a rapist...? Clearly, flawed logic. Even if you disagree with ALL religion, there is no basis for hatred of such blinding severity.
I think it helps the Fakers. The so-called "religious" people who beleive in leftist pacifism; something the very bible they claim to beleive in is completely opposed to. Showing them the Verses their Pastors hide, that they are too lazy to read for themselves, is a nice slap in the face. Doesn't matter if I, or You, believe any of it or not. Showing them the hypocrisy of their position is always useful, in whatever form manages to get through to them.
Is that not the root of our plight? So may people believing in propaganda instead of reality? If I hand that Verse to a Faux Christian, they have to question their position, or keep making excuses to believe a lie. Just like any other Anti.
"I'm a Christian and I believe XXX."
"Oh really? Then why are your words the complete opposite of the Bible?"
There is very little that is more powerful to a religious person, than staring at proof that you've been taught to believe the opposite of what is written.
It won't help to go on an anti-semetic crusade. You just prove yourself to be all of the bad things that you accuse religion of being. Once discredited to that extent, who is going to listen to you? If the recipient of the card is such a person, filled with so much anti-1st ammendment hate and anger, do you really think you have any chance of chaning their mind anyway?
