Nah...you need compatibility in life. I'm happy my wife is mildly liberal, it's been fun beating on her core beliefs until they let slip into oblivion, she will be mildly conservative after I am done with her.

Its important to remember that a lot of "anti-gun" people are that way simply because no one ever took them shooting or gave them any sort of positive information about guns when they were growing up. People like that will not always respond well to heated rhetoric or furious, power-driven arguments, but over time their views can be changed by someone who is respectful of their opinions even if he doesnt share them.
Exactly right. I myself was once such an "anti-gunner." I've always thought guns were an interesting and important part of history, but was unconvinced that civilian ownership of guns was a good idea. All I knew about guns in civilian hands was what the news and people like Michael Moore beamed into millions of homes. It was just a given that guns are bad. It literally took just one friend asking me to go shooting with him one time to get me onto the right course. The range session caused me to rethink things. It allowed me to see that not all gun owners either criminals or shouting rednecks. Showed me that decent, free-thinking individuals do own guns. That in turn caused me to look at the facts, and pretty much every single anti-gun argument fell flat when juxtaposed with the facts. My friend didn't try arguing politics, talking points or any of that stuff... just invited me to shoot some guns. Since then, I've introduced nearly a dozen people to shooting. No one likes to be told that they're wrong because they will figure if your word is no better than theirs, so what makes you right and them wrong? If you show them gun ownership in a positive light, then it may actually make them think.
Is there a chance that she is open to taking a basic safety course? One that teaches basic gun safety and handling, even if it is a class where she does not fire a gun. She can learn how to unload and clear the gun.
My girfriend isn't that into shooting. I said "OK, you can just work the spotting scope for me."
That didn't last long. Now she's hinting about trying "Cowboy Action". I may have to buy her 3 guns and a dance hall floozie outfit.

I did tell he I needed a bigger gun safe. Her answer was "or fewer guns" I told her that was impossibe in light of the pending revolution I needed more!!
8 US Presidents have been NRA members. They are: Ulysses S. Grant,
Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Dwight D. Eisenhower,
John F. Kennedy, Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George Bush.
80 MILLION law abiding gun owners didn't shoot anyone today, a few criminals did!!

I would add that you make sure your Son knows his guns are always welcome to stay in your safe if anything happens. Anti-gun does not mean a person is Anti-selling of guns. Got a buddy that lost all his good guns to the Ex.
