Ah yes, a source-less article from the NRA claiming that gun ownership = personal safety. Par for the course for the outhouse-brained wintermute_oregon who lives in fear of being accosted by angry mobs of democrats on a daily basis. God I love this place.
I'll politely ask you to be civil, please.
Also, that NRA article does list it's sources, it's just not hotlinked. The main issue (if it is one) is that the article assumes you have some knowledge of gun-related issues, and know where the common sources are.
Although I appreciate the calls for civility, civility also includes people responding in good faith and being respectful of the people discussing with them. When one person breaks that contract, all bets are off. You can’t only ask for civility from one side of the discussion without looking at what led to that response in the first place. If you’re serious about what you’ve said elsewhere, you need to do better to foster respectful, productive discussion.
Ban me, dip shit.
Ok.
I see so many people struggling with the article because of their own bias or their assumption of what I believe.
I have yet to state an opinion on the article.
To be blunt I’m not a fan of Lott. I think he starts with his conclusion then works backwards but that is my own bias.
His work has been replicated and peer reviewed. The issue I have is he seems to come to a different conclusion than other studies but they do appear to be solid studies that are well done.
One of the critiques always makes me chuckle. People complain that he’s an economist. To me it shows they don’t understand what an economist is or what a PhD is. As someone with a doctorate degree. It makes me chuckle what people think a doctorate degree actually is.
No one is struggling with the article. It just doesn’t say what you say it does and you’re completely sealioning everyone here with your fake civility.
If Blamemeta actually had any care for fostering discussion about conservatism here, he wouldn’t be telling everyone else to stay civil except you while also excusing your dishonesty.
I didn’t say anything about it. I’ve never asked you for more citations. You’re the one who is sealioning. All the information is in the article but you seem confused by it. I’m not being dishonest. You’re being a little nutty to be quite frank. Talking about we. Claiming I made a statement about it when I didn’t.
I posted the article and provided experts from you Mr attempt to sea lion. I didn’t add anything to it. You went to fantasy land and created a strawman after your attempt to sea lion failed.
So strange. Be well
You clearly have a mental issue that you should get checked out. Everything you just said is demonstrably false.
I don’t live in fear. Not sure why you keep making baseless attacks instead of focusing on the topic.
Being prepared is not fear. It’s being smart.
It’s not baseless though: it’s based on your claim that you need to defend yourself from a non-existent threat. It’s your fear that is baseless and I have asked you multiple times to provide evidence that, in your words, “violent mobs of democrats” pose a threat to you but you haven’t provided any. That’s the topic, and you’re the one not addressing it. You’re not “being prepared,” you’re being deranged and fearful and arming yourself in response.
I have never used the word fear. As such you are acting in bad faith by claiming something I never said.
I clearly did give an example but you decided to ignore it because like a child you want to hurl insults at people.
I am prepared, and that upsets you but no much how much you want to stomp your foot and pout, I will still be able to defend myself. I know that makes you irrationally angry because I can defend myself but that isn't going to change.
Lmfao. You don’t need to use the word in order for your fear to be apparent. It drips from you. And no, blanket statements that angry mobs of democrats stormed the world during the “summer of love” do not count as evidence for your claim that you need to arm yourself in order to stave off a nonexistent threat. It’s like a child sharpening a stick to fend off the boogeyman.
Secondarily, I have no issue with you owning guns or exercising your 2A rights. What I disagree with is your moronic and literally foundation-less opinion that the 2A can never be limited, modified, or restricted in any way. I think it’s funny, yes, both this stance and your palpable fear, but I also think it is scary in that your opinion is not reflected in the law or reality and yet you still are convinced of your own rightfulness. It truly is childlike: clinging to your perspective against all reason and against any objective fact.
Thanks but I don't need your opinion about me as a person. I would prefer if you could stay on topic. Your argument is weak when the best you can come up with is trying to paint me inaccurately as being scared. That is a childish answer.
Once again you just keep doubling down on making things. up. I never said it couldn't be limited, modified, or restricted. You are so hell-bent on operating on a bad-faith model that you don't even notice what anyone says. You just want to hurl insults like a hurt child.
I don't make decisions based on fear. I make decisions to be prepared. Do you call people names for having smoke detectors in their homes? A gun is no different.
Prepared for what? Ze Germans?
He (they?) told me on another post that they’re preparing for confrontations with violent mobs of democrats. I’m not joking.
He’s not someone anyone should take seriously.
