Why are we so stupid?

This question was asked by OldNFO over at his blog.

Here's a few extracts from the post ...

It's not wonder we (gun owners) are always under attack from both the right and the left. Rather than having open minds, people seem to ONLY want to advance their personal agendas, rather than taking a big picture look at what is happening, or actually admitting there may be another point of view.
....
1911 vs. plastic semi-auto vs. revolver- Honestly, who frikkin cares???
...
Open carriers vs. concealed carriers- Same thing...

Shotgunners (skeet/trap) vs. shotgunners (tactical/hunting)- Same thing...

EBRs vs. "hunting" rifles vs. "target" rifles vs. "patrol" rifles- Same thing...

What we NEED to do, if we can't have open minds, is at least be courteous to those who differ with us.
...


Go, read the whole thing. It's definitely worth it.

Thanks Julie... I kinda went down the rat hole on that one... I'm just tired of the divisiveness and I really believe it is about to hurt us significantly here in the US. Y'all have already had your moment, and now you (as you know) live under VERY restricted gun rights.

Jim, unfortunately we still see the same type of in-fighting here. Especially in states where they are trying to introduce more laws :(

Some people just really don't get that we ALL need to stand together regardless of our particular shooty interest.
