Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: The second amendment is irrelevant- [View all]digonswine
(1,487 posts)I am a screen name on a discussion board, as are they.
Some of the regular "gunners" here are actually quite civil and give reasoned arguments. I may not always agree, but so what?
That's the thing, though--opinions. Maybe we define the term differently.
I would not say that it is my opinion that evolution is true. I would say that my opinion is that liver and onions is disgusting. I do not want to ban liver and onions.
If there were good data to suggest that I am much unsafer being surrounded by carriers, then that would be something. We could then discuss it and decide at what point a right should be limited if it affects others to whatever degree. But there is not the data.
I suspect, that there is a bit of a difference, but a bit is not enough.
I suspect that these guys can go around feeling safe with their guns and not really make me less or more safe. I think it does not really matter.
I may think that there is a large difference between how I think and how they do--but unless my life is affected, I have no real right to limit others' rights.
There's a lot of shit I don't like-but I recognize it as my opinion.
