The debate�s results are now aggravatingly predictable: The boisterous neighbor shuts downs � or shouts downs � all arguments when the citified coworker demonstrates that they have little understanding of an impressively simple tool. (A clip isn�t a magazine, the �AR� in AR-15 isn�t an abbreviation for �assault rifle,� etc.) The pedantic tactic, as perfectly described by firearm aficionado Adam Weinstein, is �gunsplaining.� For someone trying make a larger point about gun violence, gunsplaining can be infuriating but, for someone with a passing familiarity with guns, the audacity of a liberal trying to make a larger, sweeping point without knowing some of the basic concepts or having any hands-on appreciation can be equally so. |

| Note how the author dismisses the relevance of the NRA, when it is largely that organization that has stood athwart most serious attempts at eradicating our right to arms. |

| All in all, not to bad an article. The shocking thing is that it is from NBC. As for the impression of the NRA, the change was not without its justification. |
