I wouldn’t say the people I’m describing are gun control centered. I’d say they’re urbane liberals in a fishbowl that can’t imagine anyone wanting to live differently than they do. I’d say they’ve never considered themselves to be afraid of “urban youth” in spite of going to great lengths to avoid them. I think my point makes them think a little about gun control being a class issue rather than a safety issue. Ultimately, I fail to change anyone’s mind. They don’t see gun control as a losing issue because it wins inside the fishbowl.
