That fact that A) you think this and B) apparently think there's nothing wrong with it is horrifying.


Hey Toddy, what happens when public opinion decides you need to hang?

Prop 8 was voted on in 2008. Yet just four years later it won on every state ballot where it was voted on in 2012.


Yeah, they had to do something to shut you shrieking fairies up.

You are in the minority by a large margin.

Wrong side of history, if you will.

All one has to do is study public opinion about this for the past decade and how it has changed. I'm very well versed in this after the gay marriage fight. It's extraordinary how quickly public opinion can liberalize around contemporary issues. 

The backlash we've witnessed this week is fascinating. Would have been unheard of just a few short years ago.




It's a good thing we have the rule of written law to protect our polity against the whims of angry mobs.

Optimism? This was written about extensively during the lead up to Obergefell.

The irony of a proud gay man touting the polled opinion of a majority to limit the Constitutional rights of a purported minority.

Ninety-seven percent of voters back universal background checks, versus only 2 percent who do not


97% of all rookie support laws in effect. It blows my mind how people think they don’t do background checks. Must have never bought a gun from an actual licensed dealer.

Years of anti-gun rhetoric is definitely effective. That is why it is used.

If they aren't the same person they should have a gay off.

I wonder if the graph below concerns the NRA. Or are they laughing it off?


It's concerning enough that gun rights supporters should devise solutions to address mass shootings that don't involve restricting law-abiding citizens' rights. And they should take that seriously.

But these numbers always spike right after a mass shooting. It's like taking a poll in the wake of 9/11 on whether we should invade Iraq. I bet the numbers were high then too, higher then they normally would be.

It's certainly not this beyond reproachable ideal that some like to envision.
