Agree AGree AGREE, also feal your frustration.
So let me play devils advocate.
Arguments comparng cars or alcohol to guns doesn't work.
You end up with "But you don't NEED a gun"
To which you reply "you don't NEED a car".
"Yes I do!" their just too blind to see the justification works both ways.
Same with mortality statistics.
I try to stay away from them (statistics), I work with enough numbers to realize you can PROVE ANYTHING with numbers, you just pick the ones you want.
Have you seen Steve Lee in Living With the Enemy?
It proved something I've known for ages and he admitted it at the end.
You CANNOT REASON with the Anti's, you cannot "Win the arguement"
Only one way to gain ground, overwelm them with numbers (head count not statistics)
Ignore reason and criticism and SHOUT LOUDER with emotion if possible.
Another thought.
Why don't we fight back? (Re: your "Why dont you guys have something to say about by dissertations for once")
Perhaps because we are like mistreated dogs.
We've been kicked once to often to risk putting our heads up.
BUT look around, the dogs are starting to growl, your doing it yourself!
Even if it doesn't look like it...support is growing, I guess you've seen Jenna's post.
Look at the Shooters and Fishers Party, first Victorian election they have stood and got 2 seats.
I took the Greens years to get 2 seats.
Do what you can, big or small, "Just Do It!" to steal a phrase.
We don't HAVE to agree on everything, we don't HAVE be one cohesive body.
We just have to stand up and be counted. = overwelming numbers.
Bloody Hell .... just let me step down from this soapbox ...
And now for someting compleatly different ...... your thoughts
There's always room for at least one more gun in my safe.
There's always room for one more safe in my house.
