Road Rage and easy access to firearms

49. Bull.

Facts shouldn't be ignored. But to claim that this is an issue where the gun control side is allowing emotions to overtake their ability to objectify the facts in this debate is utterly laughable. How are dead people not an objective fact, for one thing. For some reason, guns are supposed to be an issue handled differently than just about every other public safety issue when it comes up. Anything else that proves to be a danger to public safety or health gets dealt with with law and regulation and that's fine, but oh no, not guns! That can't happen because freedom, and those who are trying to deal with it the way we have with other safety issues are just being emotional. That is ludicrous.

Not to mention the whole cold hard logic argument is just so often used to justify argument some heinous public policy. Read your history. Emotion is the impetus for change. It's what usually drives people to do the right thing. It's' what leads them to realize something is wrong. Something needs to be done. Whenever you claim emotion needs to be taken out of the equation? You really need to step back and ask yourself why that is.
