He, after all, is supported by the Chicago political machine and they want to take all guns because they can’t control the guns in Chicago. He is going to be the perfect horse to ride. I think he is gullible enough to try and get the entire federal government to outlaw guns. That all being said, he fits the description\* morally as well. Most people won’t understand my feelings but he might as well be racist himself when I have owned a gun longer than he has been alive.”

I’m not a fan of these types of OP. You get a response here and pass it off as your own when you talk to him. That’s weak sauce IMHO.

If he’s so wrong, and clearly you think he is, you should be able to formulate a response that will communicate that to him.
