Will you put your money where your mouth is though?

Such as speaking up whenever you see one of your anti-gun colleagues say something like "all gun owners have blood on their hands" and similar broad brush smears?

MADD didn't go around smearing all drinkers, or all drivers, so theres definitely a parallel there...The question is, will you speak out, or will you turn a blind eye to it?
