The word “tyrant” and “government” seem to be in every other post on FB. A happy medium doesn’t seem to exist anymore, its hard left with ban all guns to borderline cult doomsday preppers ready to wage war. It’s good people are voicing opinions and getting loud but its not really aimed in the right direction. > [@Cycle tire prices](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cycle-tire-prices/51221/17): > > It’s gotten too extreme on both ends, neither side feels that the other will compromise, both want all or nothing. What annoys me personally are the people riding an emotional wave, who are scared of firearms, and project that fear like a lighthouse. Nobody should have guns because they are scared of an inanimate object. Good posts and both 100% correct. A major issue is that most of these people don’t know how to properly voice themselves. On either side, 90% of the people go off the deep end. The ones that really have a level head about it are the people like us, on proper gun forums and contributing to the matters through local organizations(IE NOT NRA) I REALLY believe that this whole ordeal needs a face behind the cause, similar in a sense to ML King on black rights or whatever, but one that focuses for everyone and NOT just pro or anti gun. Someone who has a good standing in the firearm community, knows the laws/regulations, knows firearms very well, and can explain/debate/discuss in a level headed manner across the internet. Unfortunately the EASY way out for the Obama administration is to put bans into effect. Sucks but that’s the damn truth. it’s not so easy to put logic into the mix and sit down with people to explain everything in terms that make sense to those who just don’t get it. I’d love to be that voice, but I already work 100+ hours a week 😢 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-official-gun-thread/242496)._
