Speaking out against the gun lobbies has brought online bullies, but
more importantly, it has brought on allies. They are the reason I wrote
those pieces in the first place. The takeaway is the people I have
connected with despite all of the harassment and bullying. Progress is
being made.
Stalk me online, insult me, and smear my name. The harder you try to
stop me, the harder I will push forward. The key is to look for
reasonable people on both sides of the debate who won’t act like grade
schoolers. Ignore all the rest.
If gun lobby supporters can’t act like responsible adults on the
Internet, they certainly can’t be trusted to be responsible with
firearms. And helping to expose them as such will help to solve
America’s gun violence issues. If they wish to illustrate why they need
to be opposed, that only helps the rest of us identify them as part of
the problem.
