Naw, it's been proven time and again here in the US.  It ends up falling
into a shouting match with the chanting of slogans and whatever.  It's akin
to motorcycle helmet laws.  It doesn't matter what the facts are, people
have prejudices and beliefs and (for the most part) refuse to see validity
in any other argument.

It's just human nature, nothing you can do about it.

from shooting.  It's hard to explain until you've done it.
