@H2O MAN,
Quote:A gun gives the criminal a significant advantage over the law abiding American that is unarmed.
We have all got that point I think H2O and it has been good of you to explain it so often.
However, repeating it again for the same audience, as you have had the patience to do so often, does not address the post you purport to be addressing.
Which was--
Quote:I would be willing to wager that more women have been raped at the point of a gun than women have been saved from rape by owning one.
It would be perfectly logical for you to offer your evasion if gun injuries in the US, fatal or otherwise, were of the order of 2 million a year. It would still be a valid point. Just as pointing to the 2nd would be valid if there were 2 million a month.
If you would stick to the facts and just admit that you like guns, that they make you feel good, you would make sense to me. I know that they do from experience. On my own account and from observing others.
No sooner does one put your other arguments on the test bench on which principles should be examined, according to Bernard Shaw, although it's pretty obvious anyway, and try them with increased tension, they destruct on the first setting of the dial.
The real question for a nation with a deficit of $17 trillion, and rising, is what does your pleasure cost in economic terms? Saving lives is not really that big a deal for the high elites. They couldn't do their job if it was.
