4. I take it you're not going to read the letter
That's okay, but enough with the ad hominem BS.

11. so
I take it you're too uninformed to actually argue against the letter. You want to, but you just don't understand the issues - so instead you whine about the source. Pretty typical of the anti gun posters on here, your opinion on the issue is a kneejerk "GUNS BAD" but when someone actually challenges you on that, you either don't respond or respond with the same "GUNS BAD" rephrased over and over.

15. Have you turned in all your sharp or pointy objects?
Or are you a drive-by hypocrite?

17. That's the title of the blog, not the name of the group
The group is the Gun Owners' Caucus of the Texas Democratic Party.

See what happens if you open your yap about something about which you have chosen to remain willfully ignorant? You end up looking like a moron.

12. Notice the difference in styles.
The letter writer is very polite, articulate, and well reasoned.

The antis are insulting, crude, and hateful.

18. I'm totally cribbing this letter
My mayor recently joined MAIG, and I intend to write him with my objections. I fully and unashamedly intend to use this letter as the basis for my own.
