[QUOTE="tulsanewb, post: 2413299, member: 2133"] I am not trying to label OSA as conservative or liberal; merely to encourage outreach and education over hostility and isolation here and in the real world. I have seen many who were anti-gun become much less so after shooting a 22 for a day and having friendly talks with people at a gun range, without even talking about guns. Both sides have this image of the other: anti-gun people see pro-gun as trigger happy, wild west wannabes. I think we all know how pro-gun people see anti-gun people. But I have seen when both sides are around each other and friendly, the stereotypes vanish and people see each other as just people. This can often sway how people view the gun issue as well, in a favorable light. Just like a pro-gun person yelling and screaming and threatening (random example) could reinforce the stereotype and put all gun owners in a bad light. [/QUOTE]
