59. a challenge for whoever you are

Use language honestly.

I know; it seems to be an almost impossible undertaking for some hereabouts, but it can be done.

If you're meaning to address people who suffer from some sort of psychosis that causes them to be opposed to certain varieties of objects, then by all means address your posts to "anti-gun folks".

If you're meaning to solicit responses from people who support firearms control measures that you oppose -- many of whom very certainly own and use firearms -- then come up with some meaningful and rational way of attracting their attention.


Oh, and of course you could always try coming up with some meaningful question / topic of discussion ...
