Um, no.
The chasm separating us and them has eroded to the point that we will never again enter into anything resembling reasonable discussion with one another. It will be nothing but fighting, yelling, name calling, and so forth until one group or the other ceases to exist.
Second Amendment absolutist response: how many people were injured or killed by automobiles, knives, hammers, or curling irons? As if the answer to that question would reduce gun violence, or has any relevance to the problem whatsoever. By that reasoning we should just forget about all cancer research and any attempts to cure this health menace, because people will just die of other causes so why bother?
Just like cancer and other health menaces to society, gun violence needs to be countered with sensible preventative measures.
I don't go to that site, except once, I forget why. Anyway, I watched a pro-gun liberal try to explain to people why certain of their ideas aren't liked by others. And why he is a liberal with a gun.
To say they turned on him, would be to put it mildly.
Liberals are all just waiting for the opportunity to eat their own. One of their own sets one toe out of line and they start ringing dinner bells.
shhhh!!! you'll disrupt the status quo!!!The irony is palpable. Do you not see that the Right does the exact same thing? Heck, it happens on INGO All. The. Time.
Heck, I can't reason with most of the people on the same side of the gun rights debate.
Have you seen INGO?
Well, they can't be reasoned with because "they" are people.
And people tend to not listen to opposing arguments. And only listen to that which reinforces their own beliefs.
No, not EVERYONE.
But quite a few, on both sides of ANY argument.

I think you're getting tied up thinking of a side issue.
It has nothing to do with opinions or views, it has to do with winning elections at all costs.
Or do you think all those illegals flooding the country are going to be kept from voting effectively? Somehow they turned that into an issue to mask the fact that it is solely to get more votes.
This is why we are losing elections, because we don't want to confront the pink elephant in the room. And that is, the issues are irrelevant to them, it is solely to punish opposition and gain more votes. A few on our side do it. It's the "vote against" doctrine.
