Gun Control & RKBA

You have shown you don't listen and will obfuscate.

But I'm a masochist and can't help it, I guess.

I'll start with the first--the presence of a gun does indeed increase the odds of being killed by one. Households with loose guns are dangerous for that reason. This is not to say that ALL people that own guns are being unsafe-But-generally this is the case.

Second--um-yeah-being in the presence of a gun does for sure increase my odds of being killed by one. No brainer. But somehow, this is my problem,I guess-geez.

Third--this is not all about you. Just today-and you'll just have to take my word for it-I was kayaking on my local river. Someone had on their truck 2 stickers--one was something like "My second amendment rights protects all of your other ones"--BTW-I know I butchered that-but that was the idea. The second was " If you plan to take my guns, you had better bring yours"--again-not the same words but the same sentiment.

These people are fucking nuts-right?

I have said it before--it is EXACTLY the fuckers that want to carry that I least trust to do so.

Fourth--anecdotal evidence--studies say otherwise.

Fifth--it is apparently my problem that I react differently to those with guns from those without openly carrying a gun.
Do you even live on this planet? Do you actually interact with people?

I am not talking about the weirdo her in northern Wisconsin that fears a bear attack(a very real fear, a very infrequent end). Perhaps you may not have interacted with the true gun nuts. They can not be counted on to see reality as it is.

It's nice to know that I only need to worry when I am currently being threatened with a gun. Whew!

Thanks for setting me straight and not being at all condescending or irrelevant.

BTW-I am not for total disarmament, I hunt and have guns.

I am glad that your loved ones are most important to you. I want reasonable and restrictive controls on guns. This is not a cultural thing nor is it a move to limit freedom.

I teach in a school. We have to talk to kids about this shit all the time. I have absolutely no patience for my anyone that pretends to care and does not want to consider access to guns as an issue. These people are now not worth talking to. They speak of carrying themselves instead of tackling the real problem.

I only ask you to consider what restrictions might help. Personally-If I knew no more kids(or whomever) would die-I would gladly dump the guns. Not everyone is a "gun-grabber"--

And, yes--It DOES appear to be the most important thing to people like you. Please explain how I am wrong so I can learn a bit.
