Gun Control & RKBA

my argument, engaging in black and white thinking (and thinking that I'm doing the same), and taking what I say as the only cause of x, y, or z in a way to make it look like you're "winning" or scoring points but it's either a failure of reading comprehension or a case of willful dishonesty (and I'm very much inclined to believe it's the latter).

And no shit I never said guns weren't the best personal defense weapons (well, there are a few other things but they're pretty cost prohibitive or illegal). So again take your straw man and shove it.

What I said is that while guns are the best self defense weapons, they aren't worth the other costs that get involved, like unarmed people being assaulted or shot, armed (but innocent) people being assaulted or shot, etc.
