I hate click-baity headlines. I refuse to click them. I won’t be manipulated by your tricks.
We’re not going to break down every moment from the CNN anti-gun town hall, but I do want to share one moment just to prove that no one really wants to change their mind on anything ever.
This clip was tweeted by someone from the Center for American Progress, afar left group. He tweeted, “Florida history teacher schools @NRA’s @DLoesch on the 2nd amendment. It’s amazing.”
Okay, so let’s watch this schooling. Make note of the teacher’s posture. She has a scowl. Her chin is up and chest out. She has an aggressive posture when she asks this not-genuine question (Starts at 1:15:34)
The question is: “Using supporting evidence” what is your definition of a well-regulated militia? The anti-gun guy and everyone in that audience and every anti-gun person watching thought just that QUESTION was a SCHOOLING; the question was a SMACK DOWN, an OBLITERATION, an EPIC TAKEDOWN.
They didn’t want to hear Dana’s answer. They didn’t hear Dana say essentially ”Well, it’ s not my definition. It’s the definition of our founders who wrote it. Geroge Mason said ‘I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people,'”
I mean this objectively as possible; if anyone did any schooling, it was Dana schooling the teacher. But I think a more appropriate headline would be, “NRA representative accurately answers teachers question.”
But that’s not enough drama. Someone always has to be SCHOOLING SOMEONE.
But my main analysis here is about human nature. We don’t want to change our minds.
How can you watch that clip and think the TEACHER schooled Dana? The teacher asked a question, Dana answered it. You may not like the answer, but…it was an answer.
People only see and hear and say things in order to prove themselves right. we all do it!
Final point on gun contorl. Let’s avoid this “logic”:
1. Something must be done
2. This is something
3. Therefore we must do this
So how do you change someone’s mind? I wrote a book about it.
