Reply #51: No, I'm not arguing with facts. [View All]

[EstimatedProphet]

You don't get one very important point: I'm not saying, and never did say, that concealed carry should be taken away. As a matter of fact, I said that I wasn't working towards repealing it in the last post. My point is that, regardless of the facts you throw around, humans have a way of fucking things up. I'm never going to be comfortable with concealed carry being readily available. That doesn't mean that I'm trying to get rid of it, it means I'm wary - there's a lot of things I am uncomfortable with in our society. My point from the outset was that the posts coming from Freeperland indicate that people there who post about how much they "need" their gun in specific places really shows how fearful they are, and points toward them being a lot more likely to act out in a situation, or at least misinterpret what is going on. I wasn't even trying to make an argument either way at the outset, and I'm still not. Is there no room for simple discussion on DU anymore?
