(48,121 posts)But I do know there seems to be a bias against people owning guns and an assumption of 'guilt' with no evidence on a regular basis in these parts.
When you have less than a percent of over fifty million people doing bad things with something they own it is just plain bias/hate/ignorance to project that onto the entire group (as is so often done). As noted, I don't own a gun. I can't have an abortion either. And being straight gay marriage does not personally involve me. But the common thread to them all is freedom/personal choice.
That is something I can get behind and stay behind because I view it as a progressive ideal (and why should we continually have to fight for something like freedom and why do so many want to keep removing it?).
I mention it because it goes to the core of the issue here. Some folks hate guns, don't want others to have what they don't want, so use their energy to spot light any negative they can and try to have guilt by association. They are not interested in the over forty nine million who do nothing wrong, talking about them would not further their agenda.
