I was having a discussion about guns 'n stuff today.  My co-discussor declared herself so anti-gun that she had a bumpersticker that read "if guns were outlawed, only outlaws would have guns".

Me = stunned disbelief.

Clark, are you a supporter of retroactive abortion?

Yup, he actually said that.

I tried.  She disagreed with my interpretation of the bumpersticker, and clearly thought I was being an idiot.

Only when I pointed out that the bumpersticker was an NRA favorite did make an impression, and even then she really thought her interpretation was correct.

Awesome.

I ponder her views on other issues, and the statements and rallying cries that she displays and supports in regards to them.

Tell her to replace "outlaws" with "bad people that want to harm innocent people who cannot protect themselves." If she has any intelligence at all, she should be able to make the connection within 15 minutes.

Heh. It was persuasive speech night. Some kid did one anti-gun control.

He had a chart that showed that in cities with more gun control (Las Angeles, D.C, New York) there were many more homicides as compared to the cities with lowest gun control, all of which were podunk towns in Idaho and North Dakota.

He asked for any questions, and I asked if he realized that the higher homicide numbers were from a higher population, and had nothing to do with gun control.

Silence, followed by "I guess so"

I high-fived in my head.

I am against gun control, but it doesn't make the above any less funny.

I did a whole speech on anti-gun control. I thought it was quite convincing. If I find it, I'll have to post it.

Of course, that would be my stand, since I'm a gun nut.

I don't care. If you want to get a gun, go take a test and get one. Have fun
and don't shoot me, thanks.

I could care less about gun control, IMHO if you take the guns away people will use knives, the people with the longer knives will win, you take the knifes away people will use bats, so on and so forth.

For after all what's man in nature? A central point in between nothing & all, infinitely far from understanding either.
