> Start with "anyone who poses with guns in their family Christmas photo is to be treated as if they will use them on your family or their own kids without a moment's hesitation for their own gain".

That seems hyperbolic to me. I don't understand liking "tactical" Christmas decor, but I know some people who do.

In my experience, this kind of hyperbole tends to increase polarization around an idea instead of leading to any consensus.

Polarization is the point. It is time to reclaim the idea that gun ownership is at best an unfortunate necessity and gun fandom is creepy shit.
