I'm a huge believer in the color grey, and I try to practice it where ever possible. What I mean is that there is very little in this world that is black and white. No group of people are "always" something unless its an absolute defining trait like "dead" or "Hindus". Within the subset, it's usually impossible to have any further absolutes.
That said, not all rednecks, hillbillies and poor white trash are gun owners and enthusiasts. If anyone needs examples, I have plenty of family members to introduce you to. Not all gun owners are any of the above either - I'll point to our President as proof given that despite his affectations to be a cowboy, he was born and educated in New Haven, CT.
So when you guys are done pillorying all the gun opponents for being close minded, let me know so that I can help clean up the cups and plates from the pity party. Just like everything else, not all gun opponents have a closed mind on this subject, although you apparently do. I'm certainly willing to listen to new information and change my opinion as warranted.
