Again, the OP was speaking of changing attitudes, not writing legislation.
You have gone from zero to soapbox in about 2 posts.... what's so difficult about even discussing this subject?
I truly believe that this type of failure to entertain a civil discussion is going to hasten the passage of more restrictive laws, because you put forth the appearance of unhinged zealot. Everyone loves to pass restrictive legislation against zealots...

And to deal with your comment more directly.... yes, apparently this is the modus operandi for the vast majority of citizens in our country, including the vocal 2A defenders. Wasn't until someone wanted to discuss possible restrictions on their toys that they started screaming. As long as they don't suffer any inconvenience, they will watch their Constitutional Rights get flushed one by one without so much as a whimper.
