ONE MILLION HELD HOSTAGE

[hogarth]

Exactly. TO the guy complaining that guns can be purchased and owned in MASS...thank you CPT Obvious! Yes you can buy a gun in Mass but look at the hoops you have to jump through. Just like MD. I just moved here last year and I'm still shocked at how gun owners in this state have been beaten down. I moved from WA state-I thought it was a liberal cesspool. It's got nothing on MD. Back in WA with a CCP, I could walk into any gun store, throw down some cash and walk out with any pistol I wanted. Out here, I haven't even bothered to try to buy any guns because MD makes it beyond difficult right now. Imagine how it will be after Oct 1.

I'm honestly surprised that there are so many gun owners in this state and yet the government is what it is. I guess the gun grabbers must outnumber the gun owners tremendously.

My point is that this is written as if this guy was going through this, and he was not. Its like a science fiction tale written by a 3rd grader. If I posted this on facebook thinking it true, my liberal facebook friends would tear it apart, fully knowing that you can own guns in MA. I don't think any of us needs to hide behind hyperbole like this when the truth is already on our side. That's all I'm saying.

The other side seems to be doing pretty well with hyperbole.

Then why does the leadership of MSI and others always tell us to wow the other side with facts since they don't have a leg to stand on and act/vote based strictly on emotion? No, I will stick to the facts, thank you. I will not stoop to wild exaggerations.

The "other side" must be shown to lie, while we present facts. People on the fence could fall either way if they think both sides lie. The facts will earn trust.

Sorry I can't really help you, OP.

I guess we have to let our country degrade to Afghan or Iraq levels before every home will be required or "allowed" to keep 1 gun.

Do think he'd mind if I posted this on Facebook, giving him credit of course? Well said, indeed.

He would not mind and has encouraged spreading the message. To quote him he would rent a billboard in front of his house if he could afford it. The original is posted on the Cast Boolits Forum in the restricted section so a link only works for people who have been members for the required time and have the minimum post count which cuts down on the spies and trolls.
