I know it is nothing new but more people call it out, perhaps over time, it won't be such an effective tactic. Appealing to emotions to influence important decisions, especially the second amendment RIGHTS guaranteed by the constitution, instead of a legitimate debate on the second amendment(even though it is pretty clear) is appealing to the lowest of the low. People should be offended, because it's manipulative, cynical, and WRONG.
This is one reason I despise the left, they never try to argue facts or the a logical, rational basis, they go on emotion, mob rule etc This is beneath me as a human and beneath everyone else.Unfortunately, some people are just stupid and do not realize this.
