We are not trying to win the hearts and souls of the anti-gunners, we are trying to win over the fence sitters. We do that by showing them that we're not very different then them.
I did my best to win us some fence sitters Sir. The only un sightly thing other than the person in the nice clothing, was my ugly little black r---e.

Your point is well taken, many folks will hessitate to walk up to someone dressed in camo, carrying a AR15. Where the person who looks like the average joe/jane may be much more easily approached by a curious member of the public. Is it fair, or even good human behavior? Probably not, but it is the hand we are dealt on a daily basis. If we want to stay in the game we better learn how its played ladies & gents.
Giving up civil rights for security is a certain way to lose both!
