I am posting this for entertainment (I think its funny anyhow) and as an example of how you may try to deal with your local anti gun nut.
So..I live in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. If you know this area, you are aware that you walk around neck deep in real hippies, yuppy hippies and flaming liberals in general.
There is this Quarterly Publication that randomly appears all over the place (my doorstep) called Willamette Quarterly? (Not sure as its been 6 years or so since this happened)
Anyhow, I read it in order to know the enemy and to get laughs. This one issue had a half the magazine taken up by a huge multi-page diatribe about the evils of guns. It had all the classical non-sensical liberal reasons.
Fast forward a week or two :
I am at working having my daily discussion with my flaming liberal buddy and I brought up this article as an example of the baseless and just pure emotional, makes me feel good, rants that liberals use. And of course what an idiot this author is "Probably never shot a gun in his life!" I said. Turns our his wife was the author
Next day he comes to work and says his wife would like me to come over for dinner and bring gun for her to shoot so that she would be educated. Wow, wasn't I shocked :shock:
Of course I went, but I wasn't going to pussy foot around and take a single shot .22. I took the most "evil" gun I had, an SKS with a 1000 rounds of Ammo.
I'll skip forward to the point, a month later:
1) She no longer writes for this magazine.
2) She now has an SKS at a nice discount, sold it to her cheap for the cause...think $70 bucks.
3) Has a concealed carry permit and packs heat in her purse
4) spends every weekends at the range or trying to find cases of SKS ammo.
And mind you, I didn't even lecture or really educate her. I just showed her how to shoot it safely and let her go to town and this all happened in a month
I should get someone to write this into a nice article and send it to that rag I reffered to earlier and see if they would publish it
