:lol: True that. Guess I was so focused on the "(anti) gun rights problem", that I completely overlooked the "gay rights problem."

It's just that, seemingly with so many people in both the media and the government trying so hard to severely limit my ability to defend myself and my family from physical harm, that I sometimes feel like it's already a lost cause; like it's just a matter of time before they finally succeed.

I just see statistics like what John Lott has listed above, and I wonder to myself: "Don't these gun control people clearly see that more laws and restrictions won't fix the "gun problem?" Can't they think logically? I guess my problem is that I just keep forgetting that many of the key people who are pushing so hard for gun control don't give a whit about guns - they're just concerned with the "control" part of the equation.

I'm just venting in my frustration about people arguing dishonestly. :mad5

My attitude is always: "Ok, you want to debate, then let's debate on the facts so we can discover the truth, whatever it may be." I sometimes forget that the "truth" is NOT what a lot of people are concerned about.

Just drives me crazy! :banghead:

Could They Be Any More Dishonest?

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/05/ ... istry.html
Out of all the guns owned in the US, just hundredths of one percent are used in committing crimes, and the rate that registered guns are used in crimes is a tiny fraction of that. For concealed handgun permit holders the revocation rate for any firearms related violation is thousandths of one percent, and almost all of those are trivial, nonviolent offenses.
Yet, they keep trying to fix the "gun problem" with more laws and more requirements and more restrictions on what is certainly one of the most law-abiding groups of people in the nation.

Can anyone think of any other "problem" that has so much effort devoted to "solving" said "problem" in such a misguided (or dishonest) fashion?
