i think people see what they like to see and choose to debate the validity of any counter argument. and i also find that many people nowadays choose not to see the oppositions point of view, they'd rather just knock them down with the first half decent argument they have. i can certainly see where gun banners are coming from, but i choose to respectful disagree.dukesean wrote:I don't think I'll ever understand why people who are so smart and have access to all sorts of information, studies, etc. continue to believe that gun control is an effective measure against crime, DESPITE the mounds of evidence from journals, studies, the CDC and DOJ, arguing the contrary. I would be more apt to at least respect their views if there wasn't so much empirical evidence, but personally I feel it's as delusional as those holocaust deniers, and just as shameful.
perhaps if the world was united we would be without the right to choose to arm ourselves, but isn't there something in the bible about how the unity of the world under one is indicative of the coming of the end times?
