    I think you might need to go take your blood-pressure medication.

    You’re responding to points I never once made.

    All I said is that a small subset of the population has a legitimate reason for gun ownership. Hell, even Australia allows it.

    I own two guns. Guess where they are? On my mom’s farm because I have no reason to have them in the city.

      Wow, you made it 3 whole comments before jumping to ad hominem… Good work kiddo.

      A lack of imagination, or lack of awareness of time tested human survival strategies is not “a legitimate reason”…

      Overstatement of necessity and recency bias are both logical fallacies.

      If you lack the skills, or intellectually require, the problem shortcut firearms provide, just say so… But stop stating your desires and opinions as though they are objective fact.

      Intelligent hominins have sustained and thrived for at least 1,800,000 years without firearms. If YOU can’t survive without one that’s what we call a YOU problem.

        Lol, you’re one to talk about ad hominem attacks. Maybe don’t criticize someone who was responding to your attacks. It makes you a hypocrite.

        I’m capable of understanding that guns are useful tools when used safely and properly.

        Sure, people survived before guns existed, but people also got killed by wildlife a lot. Go ahead and walk around in hog country unarmed.

        But I never once said that anyone needed a gun, that’s just you putting words in my mouth. 90% of your responses to me have been strawmen.

        You’ve been arguing against things I’ve never once said, and have been attacking my character based on nothing but your own prejudices.

        Go fuck yourself.

          Inarticulate expression of an indefensible position… You should learn how to communicate with less emotion.

          Have a good one champ.
