Shootall & Billy
I am not getting into this grade school name slurring like dumb-o-crat, obongo, or Liberfairies.
You're not the only one. Too many amongst our ranks wonder just why others don't take them seriously when half of their arguments seem to boil down to twisting the name of whoever they're arguing against into whatever cutest little catchy thing they can. Good luck there fellas.
When you're ready to discuss things like an adult, the rest of the country might start listening again. Heck I believe some might still not have caught on that you can't win an argument simply by replacing all the C's in a word with K's.
Back on topic though, as to MA, your best bet in this case is to convince your neighbors otherwise. Your government is elected. Go to your town hall meetings and your water coolers and express the benefits of gun ownership, concealed carry, etc , without resorting to name calling, and see what you can do. Alternatively, you could always move, but despite political leanings it understandable that people often have a lot of financial and emotion ties to a particular place.
