Is it too soon to make fun of gunhumpers?

I was thinking we should put together a list of things that defeat a good man with a gun....

1) buildings
2) cities (places with tall buildings)
2) walls
3) high places (cliffs)
4) window curtains
5) night
6) having the lights off
7) blackouts
8) hostages
9) sniper rifles
10) bad guys with good aim
11) idiots that shoot without knowing what they are shooting at
12) bad guys with bigger weapons
13) bad guys with more weapons
14) bad guy catching the good guy with his pants down
15) bad guy catching the good guys family while the good guy isn't around

I want to blow a giant hole in the NRA arguments that more guns makes people safer....so blatantly that even the NRA's normal target population realizes the stupidity of the good guy with the gun argument and finally recognizes that you are never safe as long as guns are so easy to get

became "energized" following what transpired in the late 1960s, up to this day. Each mass killing makes them stronger. Their nutrition is the tragedy and needless bloodletting in our recent culture. They thrive on the ignorance and fear of its members, and our politicians.

It didn't happen overnight, but the 1968 GCA was when the NRA became radicalized.

Gun control was a winning issue, generally, into the 1990s, although there were wins for the RKBA in red states in the mid-1980s.

When Clinton won the fight for the Assault Weapons Ban the NRA went no holds barred and never really negotiated again (with a few exceptions).

Saying anything to win RKBA friendly laws or fight gun control became acceptable.
