10. Wow! Nice excuses for people that are basically lazy and cheap

Lots of people agree with you, ... but you have no evidence or proof of it beyond sheer faith?

Maybe that explains why no one actually "belongs" to any dues paying gun control organizations.

Fer cryan out loud, you don't even have 5 regular posters in the Gun Control Safe Haven group! If you can't muster support on DU, why should we believe there's a vast army of serious gun control people out there?

"Ban supporters have a much larger base" Now that's funny. Just like Nixon's "Silent Majority" that supported everything he did. Just like your imaginary "broader base" they never show up either, not even to vote.

They never reach for the checkbook, go to town hall meetings like this one, take a day or two of vacation time to go to the state capitol and meet with legislators. In point of fact, they never seem to do anything but whine online.

Far too busy driving the kids to soccer practice, stopping for an hour or two at Starbuck's to work on their screenplay, but boy they do hate those guns and that NRA, just not enough to be bothered to actually do anything about it besides seethe in silent rage.

So ... based on the actual record; I gotta go with mostly cheap, lazy "Keyboard Kommandos". All talk, no action, no results.
