Personally, I'm what the Pink Pistols call a "gun bigot," someone who's not crazy about firearms, knows nothing about them, "may never have even fired one, certainly doesn't have any, [and] would gladly subject innocent people to defenselessness."That admission is the first step toward a willingness to learn.
I don't think she would have been quite so receptive had her introduction to RKBA not come from a group that "liberals" feel a natural protective affinity for. And even if she still has strong reservations and probably won't be "cured," a lot of really good messages got disseminated in this story to her readership.
Good job, Mr. Spradlin.
