I don’t quite follow. Would you mind explaining what you mean?

If any of you want to stop a blood tide start with the cars. Or maybe join the NRA as a safety instructor. Argue for gun safes and mandatory training for young gun owners. That way you can actually reduce suffering since there is a possibility that someone will listen instead of write you off as a gungrabber. That way you can save even more lives.

Oh right, I should join an organization whose policy agenda I despise, and spend my own time doing something that would have no effect on people like yesterday's shooter instead of advocating for measures that might. So glad I have you to tell me how I should spend my time. Or was that just deflection, to prevent a discussion that might lead to a conclusion you don't like?

I can't control whether someone someone can write me off as a "gungrabber" (telling phrase BTW) even after I explicitly said that I don't want to take away everyone's guns and that they have plenty of legitimate uses. That's up to them and their psychiatrists.
