(319 posts)I realize this is a deeply political forum where people even attribute weather events to the policies of the opposing political party, so it's understandable that exaggeration is a common tool of rhetoric.
Blaming an organization that has a different point of view than yours for thousands of crimes committed by individuals, and for suicides that flow from the physical and mental health problems of other individuals, seems to me simplistic and unlikely to change any minds in your favor. I can forgive your emotional intensity given the gravity of the Sandy Hook tragedy.
The results of your own poll show that opinion is sharply divided even among participants here. About half are in favor of at least a somewhat libertarian position on the issue.
