....two women sitting behind me are talking about how no one needs an assault weapon and ten pretty much calling gun owners crazy. I'm tempted to turn around and offer to take them to the range for some education.

Depends, are they hot?
They are what I call sea donkeys.
I have been talking at a little higher volume about facts and realities with my girlfriend. One made a smug snarl. Unbelievable!

Just imagine what they'd look like if it was a Golden Corral.

Don't waste your breath dude. Once people have an opinion in their heads, you won't be convincing them of anything no matter how hard you try. Just ask for another table and enjoy ur lunch.
Everyone and their mother is now an expert on what is an AW and how much ammo you need. I mean, just look at Sly, he kills 50 ppl with a six shot revolver.

I left it be. After seeing all what's going on you start seeing the true ignorance of people

I miss when restaurants always had those big dividers between booths. That way you didn't have to hear the stupid people around you. I was in Pizza Johns back like the first week of December, before the shtf, and I was talking to my buddy about buying an AK and guy behind him turned around and mouthed off at us.

Light'em up! Offer to take them to the range for an education. I will supply the ammo and guns!

It all started I think because my girl and I were talking about our range visit and I was psyched about the magnifier I put on my ar. I think the libs were listening and started their rant.
The double standard at play again...you and your girlfriend were having a private conversation, the sea donkeys heard and had to talk louder to try and ruin your day. If you speak louder or say something to them, they complain, call you names or act like idiots towards you and somehow it's all your fault. I don't get it. Must be something in DNA that makes them dumb

We don't need to convert them or interact with them. Actually, the more you debate the more likely they will take action on their point of view.
We need to focus on the lawmakers who represent us. Getting the other side riled up just increases their desire to harm our rights. Remember, they tend not to act. They get distracted easily by the idea that someone else is going to do it for them. Let them continue that line of reasoning.
I had much the same situation recently. I took a lot of notes in my head and used them to create useful responses for lawmakers. Sometimes paying attention to the opposition is helpful, even if annoying.

Ive learned in this last go around of attack on "assault weapons"... A LOT of people dont know the difference of fully automatic guns that already highly regulated, and semi-automatic guns. Many still think that an assault weapon that the politicians and media is talking about are full automatic weapons. Its like we need a short educational commercial like they do during election season.

Trying to change their minds was a waste to time and breath. Talking up (and over them) about the rhymes and reasons for gun ownership with your girlfriend was a good tactic.
Hopefully Ms. 'smug snarl' got a good case of indigestion after choking down her "Rise & Shine" breakfast.

Honestly, I've discussed this issue with a handful of people who were like those two women and generally they just aren't informed and have no clue what they are talking about. A little education goes a long way. We all agree that we'd love to not see crazy people doing crazy stuff, but being ignorant and voting for stuff that has no impact on the crazy people only lawful citizens just creates this bitter environment where nobody wins and the problem is completely ignored.
I've converted a few people who were pro AWB to now agreeing that the real issue and focus needs to be directed elsewhere. I feel great when that happens... it's the small battles won here that can add up in the end.

Before I retired I was in uniform at the checkout at Safeway and had a lib dem start ranting about the war and how long we've been there. I turned around and said we've been in Germany and Japan for over fifty years. She looked like I smacked her. The truth F$#ks with them and they cant handle it. Nothing you say or do will ever get into a hard core lib dem's brain. They are sheep and they like it.
