I think we agree more than we disagree. I would love to fire off a few rounds. It just bothers me that people would carry them around just because they could. It was a few other people on this topic that set me off. I'm glad you said what you said because at first I figured you were a responsible guy. I see now that you were just defending your rights, which are black and white. I think there is a moral gray area that is crossed because an opportunity exists.
If you changed laws it would take a long time before there was a cultural shift. At which time those who are real gun enthusiasts would continue to enjoy their guns and the guy or gal who buys a gun just because they can or for protection, wouldn't because it would become taboo.
I simply compare my experience in my neighborhood because handguns a very taboo. Most robberies here are performed with knives and/or non-lethal weapons.
Of course there would have to be a cultural shift in order for criminals to stop using guns in America and I know that would take generations. But where do you start?
Hey look at the cigar boom. Many of those who started up because it was more culturally acceptable or "in the now", probably don't smoke anymore. Those who do, do it because they love it and respect it. Nothing is more dangerous than a newbie with a cigar, I mean gun, no I mean cigar.
Anyway I feel a lot safer now at the thought of blowing up some water balloons and smoking cigars down there in Hotlanta.
Hey... you’re not just luring me in to unload a few rounds in me, are you.... hehehe.
We're cool.
Hey this will happen again, I tend to speak in metaphors, it’s because I’m French. That’s a whole different topic. Next time ask me to clarify. You know every time I debate with somebody, I do see a different point of view while still believing in mine.
