Was at my family's turkey day today. In talking with my older female liberal cousin who is constantly going at it with me on FB, I discovered that all of her anti-ness is out of fear and ignorance. After a long conversation, she isnt quite as anti as she has been in the past.
She admitted that she doesnt understand them and is literally AFRAID of them because her brother "shot her in the eye" with a bb gun some 45-50 years ago. Or in the cheek an inch below the eye, depending on who you ask. In fact when I left, I started the argument of "where". She and the shooter were still arguing the semantics of what constitutes the eye. LOL
I did so by reminding her that anytime she wanted to learn, I'd take her to the range and teach her. She was excited to learn and get over her fear.
Score one for us!
