20. It is despairing. Two Democrats lost over this. The "proguns" out spent

SEVEN TO ONE in terms of outside money, and more Democratic volunteers on the ground, in the most difficult of elections to win. And still all for nought.

If this is a culture war, and I truly believe it is one, then perhaps those who have the bile and molar-grinding drive to keep attacking other citizens should at least select a symbol other than firearms, which are so inextricably wrapped up in the Mainstream culture, the Constitution, the continuous History of this nation.

Better yet, try to understand even these more obnoxious people. They didn't shoot up theaters and schools, but they have learned to strike back, often in hatred. And they are unfortunately much better at it.
