59. paranoia, big destroya

alea: Most of what you just said is just your opinion. You have your opinions and I have mine

How trite.
If italics are unavailable I use sideways arrows >>>other person's text<<<<<, or similar.

area: I acknowledged in my post that it has been disputed that Yamamoto may have never made the Blade of Grass statement so I don't know why you chose to write a paragraph dedicated to dispelling it,

You cited yamo's quote, acknowledged the uncertainty, & I posted the preponderance of the evidence that it was fake. I did not contend you posted a bogus quote, as gun zealots sometimes do, nor did I insult you. I simply posted the fact checked opinion which I adhere to. To just have posted 'that's a fake quote imo from yamo' would have not had the convincing affect that a fact checking website does.

area: There's actually no proof either way if he said it or not... Your link to substantiate the claim as fact, is just someone else opinion.

The preponderance of evidence is that it is a fake bogus quote. It is an educated opinion based on essentially a 'lack' of evidence which should be there, as well as the likelihood it was concocted to support a 2nd amendment mythology.

area: Until you convince me that the evils in this world don't exist, I'll use something a bit more practical.

I'm well aware of the evils in the world, but don't think that carrying a pistol about is a proper solution, nor do I believe in some paranoid belief that we're all in the eventual cross hairs of some tyrannical american govt, nor by a diabolical foreign govt which our own military couldn't handle.

(area wrote): We live in an increasingly unstable world and I myself don't put it past a few countries like Russia, North Korea, Iran, China, and whomever they can get to throw in with, get together and "Take America out". Conventionally or Nuclear, but either way at some point the fight could be right here on our soil, and I hope if that time ever comes there will be {an} American with a gun behind every blade of grass.

Paranoia, big destroya. If that were to transpire, civilian AR15s wouldn't mean diddly squat.
