Speaking of shaping a viewpoint, how many in here were raised around guns?
Well, I didn't think we were exactly having an argument but that is a fair point. However, I have no reason to disbelieve the veracity of the quotes attributed to her nor believe that they would be on a website that is supposedly now, not in agreement with them. Sarah Brady is an anti-gun advocate, that is the bottom line and the original point.

By "raised around guns", do you mean in the home, neighbors had them, etc? Growing up my uncle was a hunter & had shotguns at his home. I don't recall them being too visible otherwise. There were certainly more toy guns out during play with kids. Pretty much everyone in the neighborhood had those including me.
