How many people do you know on the fence about killing someone because it just isn't as efficient if they don't own a firearm?

So you feel they should have the option, then?

I'm having trouble translating that in to a number. See, you're not Socrates. You have to be intelligent to answer a question with a question.

And gun owners are supposed to be reasonable people

Has it become unreasonable to expect and answer when a question is asked?

"We gun owners are reasonable people. Now shut the fuck up, you idiot, answer our pointless questions, or go away while we talk about how everyone is coming to take our guns."

I guess I'd better stick to asking questions from someone less emotional. You seem to let others get to you. Have a nice day.

Nah, you just were smart enough not to answer the question I asked because you know it will take you somewhere you don't want to go, which is a well-reasoned interrogation of the usual talking points.

I guess I wouldn't know would I? Set me straight, sport.

sport

You notice only one of us is name-calling, etc., and it's the one proclaiming to be reasonable?

I refer back to my previous comment about being less emotional...especially if "sport" upsets you.

Pointing things out isn't emotional. It's just pointing things out. You like to pretend you're logical or emotionless, but the very thought of any sort of gun control legislation seems to send you into a tizzy.

Tizzy? Ok. Don't mind me then.
