I understand where the poster was coming from that big issue discussions don’t typically change minds but guns might be different. Abortion, death penalty, those probably don’t go anywhere. With guns, there might be a chance of reaching a better position than the one we’re in. I think the basic starting point is the right needs to understand the left doesn’t want to take away all of their guns. The left needs to understand the right isn’t in favor of mass shootings or even singular, unjustified shootings. We have a long history of gun ownership and there are an abundance of guns in this country. So both sides need to see if there are changes that can be made that result in a net benefit without all of the demonizing of the other side.
