In addition to the points on the graphic below, plan carefully and use the enemy's buzzwords against them. Low-information voters have been trained by the media to respond blindly and emotionally to certain words. Use this in your favor. Such as:
"Gun control is RACIST"
"Banning handguns is SEXIST
"Confiscation is GENOCIDE"
The Left has meticulously weaponized these and many other buzzwords. Plan carefully and use them as an emotional prybar to (try to) open the door to closed minds.
BUT YOU MUST BE READY TO BACK UP THESE STATEMENTS, because the hard-core Leftists in your audience (and there will always be some) have been trained (!) to immediately shout down anyone daring to use THEIR trigger words. Practice your responses beforehand until you have them down pat, and can deliver them seamlessly.
Remember: "Reason cannot change what reason did not create." Most anti-gun people originally adopted their outlook from a long series of one-sided antigun emotion-fests on websites and television. A "true believer" simply rejects any fact that conflicts with their adopted "opinion". Use emotional triggers to your benefit.
Remember the words of Col. Jeff Cooper: "Gun Control is a war we may never finally win. But it is one which we can never stop fighting."
