Re: What to teach people who are overwhelmed/scared?

Unfortunately, most of the people I know who are scared of guns immediately shut down when I try to logically converse with them.

One's reaction to me logically debunking their beliefs, fears, and things that they've believed for so long, is frustration and anger, usually ending in them just getting frustrated and saying "Well I just don't like them! Okay?!".. to which I ask them to articulate exactly why, and they can't, so they claim "I just don't!"

.. can't argue with that rational logic... :roll:

Oh well

A friend of mine actually tried to claim that while there are more car accidents per year than firearms accidents (After I showed him facts from a .gov source about vehicle accidents and firearms accidents, he finally gave up on that part and agreed to it), the "Accident rate per hours of use" is higher for firearms. Their arguement is most people spend like 2 hours a day in a car, while shooting a gun only takes a few minutes, and for every hour of car usage, there were less accidents than for every hour of firearms usage. :headscratch

I seriously can't make this up.

Then again, Both of these 2 examples I refer to above are from people from New Jersey.
