    Hahaha, gotta love Uncle Ted man. At last count, over 75,000 people have signed a government petition to deport Piers Morgan back to the UK. Funny thing is, the folks in the UK have their own government petition demanding their government not allow him back...

    Anyhow, I think about the folks in my 'Ol Highland home and imagine they would be damn p!ssed at some of these Californians for making gun owners look like knuckle-draggin' dip-sticks.
    I currently take up residence in both SoCal and Tri-State Nevada. Needless to say, I have a first-hand perspective on the gun laws of California, Nevada, and Arizona, as well as the general culture of gun owners from each. In all three states, the pro-gun folks share a common bond which transcends race, religion, political affiliation and socioeconomic status. However you are quite correct - there is a perception, even among gun owners, that some of the most vociferous 2nd Amendment advocates have about as much tact as Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam.

    Looking at the statistics, gun sales have increased over the past two decades (and it's no surprise to me that there have been noticeable spikes in sales preceding the threat of stricter gun control measures). But once again, I agree with you when you point out that gun ownership is not in vogue. It is unwise to think that practicality and popularity are synonymous with one another.

    I've been lobbying to present my nephew with his first BB gun for some time now... It's an uphill battle - and my brother-in-law is a Republican. Can't underestimate the power of a perception... (But I have, I think, managed some wiggle room on giving him a pocket knife before he's eighteen, so, he's got that going for him.)

    It would be totally worth it, if for no other reason than to emulate this scene:

    Great movie.

    I knew a kid in grade school who walked around with a BB embedded in his lower lip because he didn't want to cop to shooting his BB gun in the basement.

    Ah CD....there is no firearm suited for every scenario. The one you ultimately choose to keep for self-defense should be suited for the scenario you will most likely encounter.

    Using a firearm for self-defense, whether you end up pulling the trigger or not, is an unfortunate experience - one I hope my friends and family never have to face. I'd rather my loved ones avoided situations which place them at unnecessary risk of being harmed - thus avoiding having to use lethal force to protect themselves.

    I think it would benefit gun owners if they were heard expressing this sentiment more often, but (in my opinion) this cannot be perceived above the din of the "Fill yer hand, you somuvabitch!" caterwaul. Not every NRA member sits around fantasizing about how much fun it would be to actually put a round or two in someone... but the outside observer would never pick that up.
