We’ve repeatedly seen those on the pro-gun control side of the argument exposing themselves as completely ignorant on the issue, but when they get sent packing with their laughable warnings about chainsaw bayonets and high-capacity rapid-fire magazines (to name just a couple), that’s when it becomes bullying from pro-2nd Amendment Americans:
"Has this happened to you? If so, you’ve been gunsplained: harangued w/the pedantry of the more-credible-than-thou firearms owner, admonished that your inferior knowledge of guns and their nomenclature puts an asterisk next to your opinion on gun control." https://t.co/HY8wPr4WyW

That op-ed is from earlier this month, but obviously somebody thought it was worth re-upping in light of some more recent self-beclownings from the pro-gun control crowd. But do they realize what it really says?

Not knowing what you’re talking about is the new enlightenment!

You can’t be bothered to learn the most basic facts, but you want us to accept your policy prescriptions.

By all means, let us promote the ignorant as the experts. Let's do that in all fields: No more listening to doctors for medical advice; lawyers for legal advice; or journalists for news. (Actually, that last one sound correct.)

Maybe accusing the other side of bullying after getting owned in an argument is preferable for some than actually attempting to educate themselves on the subject matter. The latter might destroy the pre-written narrative.
