(19,497 posts)You aren't conversating you're declaring what you want and you refuse to address what others see as being flaws to your argument. Is it your intent to simply lecture or preach? Sorry, but those who disagree with you have their right to have their voices heard as well.
And, yes, it is a right (to both speak freely and defend yourself); no matter how frustrated that fact may make you. Your personal fatigue is no excuse for denying good people their rights. I'm sure plenty of others have been bothered by the rights of others over the centuries but that doesn't make civil and human rights any an obligation.
Calling for "reasonable conversation" is as empty as the rhetoric of "All right-thinking people know --"
And you frustrate your own intentions. You want to repeal the 2nd Amendment. Those who support the 2nd Amendment claim they keep their arms to defend against violent criminals and those who would impose tyranny. You refuse to address how people are supposed to deal with criminals determined to commit violence. Thus, you validate the first concern of pro-RKBA faction. That you refuse to discuss legitmate matters and would unilaterally impose your demands validates their second concern.
Or perhaps it is as simple as: those who won't answer, can't.
