Today in "Sell More And Do Nothing"

RE: Today in "Sell More And Do Nothing"
(April 12, 2019 at 9:30 am)Gae Bolga Wrote: There's no indication whatsoever that the possession of a gun reduces instances of home invasion, that the use of a gun a person does possess in a home invasion is common, or that the odd use of a possessed gun in a home invasion changes the outcome of the event.  

I think that gun rights advocates might do better to stick to explanations that don't involve the fantasy of shooting at someone, on principle.  Anecdotal, but I find that people who are very much against the idea of gun ownership at the outset soften their views if you stick to a calm and rational exploration of gun ownership.  We own guns because we like shooting guns.  Yes we understand that guns are dangerous.  No we don't like shooting at people.  No we aren't going to get into a firefight in the middle of a city block.  

This isn't Mosul.

Well said. This is precisely the point.  People who own guns because they enjoy hunting and sport shooting aren't the issue.  Responsible gun owners who don't think they're John McLane or Harry Callahan are also not the issue.  The issue is gun accessibility by people who shouldn't have access to guns.

I don't have a problem with gun ownership.  I have a problem with some of the philosophies about gun ownership.
