No, in many cases I think they are NOT like the anti-gun bunch. There are some very real questions about intensive use of GMO crops that have not been satisfactorily answered for some folks. Also, very few gun enthusiastists rant and rage about backwards idiots, who choose not to own a gun. If there is nothing inherently wrong with GMO, there is most certainly not anything wrong with open-pollinated crops. One major concern with blanket use of herbicides and pesticides is resisitances building up in the pests they are fighting. I am whole-heartedly convinced that GMO crops are in big danger of falling prey to the same failing as the moldboard plow, an exceedingly useful invention that is over-used to the point of doing damage, and getting a bad reputation for it. Not to mention, I find no credibility to the claims of the world starving without GMO crops, because it is an economic issue, not a production one. If production was that close to inadequate, less corn would be used for ethanol and corn syrup, not to mention beef feed. Millions of acres are in taxpayer funded suspension, that could help feed the masses. Millions more are having houses and businesses built on them, and not by starving folks. If we could go back to less productive methods, but employ more farmers on more acreage, I would be all for it.
What it comes down to in my mind, is the same as most issues. There is no evil conspiracy, most bad effects are caused by good intentions, and neither side is 100% right or wrong. And there are closed-minded, ignorant folks on both sides of the issue.
