>That's not a fair assessment.
Fair point.
>Your opinion of a "sensible position" on "gun control" is almost certainly different from mine.
A sensible position can be anywhere on a broad spectrum.
It does not include arming teachers and does not include selling guns to diagnosed mentally unstable people.
>I would take the perspective that people openly supporting socialism is a much further-leftward lurch than any thing on the right. [0]
I would have to disagree. I think for-profit prisons, money-is-speech, on-your-own healthcare are three examples of extreme individualism and anti-social-ism that it seems the Republicans are proud of.
>You also brand the NRA as "fringe" and as "general nutcases", which is again unfair. Your political opinion is not the single source of truth or the center of the political spectrum.
The NRA is fringe, it has recently been shown how it has been hijacked over the course of a decade or more by the Russians to sow discord and destabilize your country.
That's why I chose to use such inflammatory words.
>Your implication here is that the right has become fringe, but the graph linked above shows otherwise.
This may be true, I honestly did not have time to read the whole article. I don't disagree that the left has a bunch of issues and idiotic positions, hyper-sensitivity and a general vicious lack of tolerance for momentary lapses in judgement being the main ones in my opinion.
