48. try reading what you wrote


It made no sense.

People can go through their lives being ignorant of many things and cause no one any bother. I'm sure you're living proof on several scores.

It seems that someone got all excited and typed:

People that are ignorant of firearms are no different than ones who have never driven a car but want them banned.

when he meant to type something along the lines of

People that are ignorant of firearms AND WANT THEM BANNED are no different than ones who have never driven a car but want them banned.

- without that specification, the sentence was simply a gratuitous insult

- with that specification, the sentence is an attack on a straw foe


Either way, I guess ... hardly matters.
