How to debate anti gun comment......
First off, a little history. My wife and I love each other very much, but when it comes to some issues, we're polar opposites. Let's just say that we tend to cancel each other out at elections. :)
We were watching a recorded show last night, Law and Order SVU. This was the episode where a kid sees his mother murdered, and later shoots and kills the murderer. Yes we're behind on our Tivo list. :) The defense comes up with a study about how kids that see gun violence are more likely to commit gun violence later in life. Thus guns are a virus that infects youths, no responsibility should be made to the youth, the virus should be removed, yada, yada, yada.......
Well, I had a minor problem with Hollywood on this topic, and my wife and I got into a discussion about guns and violence. Basically, what it boils down to is that I can't seem to counter her "best" argument in these debates, that "a gun's ONLY purpose is to kill". She always falls back on this to prove why handguns should be removed.
Anyway, I'm stuck. :)
Thanks for helping.
