      Great advice on how to persuade rather than polarize on gun control. Basic moral psych, Dale Carnegie: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/lee-carter-gun-control-is-what-most-americans-want-heres-the-only-way-for-both-sides-to-get-there …pic.twitter.com/Wo8In8qD2T

      Also, gun control advocates will be vastly more persuasive if they learn something about guns. Take some classes at your local shooting range. Talk with folks who own guns. Don't make the newbie errors that too many make, that undermine credibility.

      Curious how you expect experience to change the conversation? Definitely agree re talking with gun owners. (Asking as someone with plenty of experience.)

      For example, it makes a difference knowing that 90% of gun homicides are by handguns, not rifles.

          Knowing that statistic has absolutely 0 to do with learning to shoot guns. It has to do with being willing and able to read crime data. Am I also supposed to dabble in drunk driving to better understand how DUI laws need tweaking?

          And that blacks commit firearm homicide at 10x the rate of the rest of the population. If you take the inner-city black ghettos out of the equation, US looks like Europe. But no-one will have that conversation, and gun-grabbers wonder why law-abiding gun owners ignore them.

          Replying to @JonBTrade @primalpoly and

          Ppl don't have that conversation, because your claim is not really true. Black gun homicide is only a little over half of US deaths. But, US per capita gun homicides are way more than 2x Euro average. Only 2x the poorer E European nations. Compared to rich, OECD, 4x or worse.
