108. Let's be real here.

I've been a reader of this site for years. Probably five or more. I never registered an account until recently, as I'm not big on that (I have one account for another board, but that's it.) I'm not new to the way things work around here, and I learned years ago (and reaffirmed it daily) that the gun-control proponents on this site would rather hurl insults, feign illness/revulsion, talk about genitals, go on emotional benders, and belittle the people they disagree with, rather than debate the issue in some sort of civilized manner. Hell, you can see it all unfold in this thread. I've never once seen this "higher level of debate" you're talking about. Perhaps you could illustrate that.

You see, in my opinion, a civilized debate would be a discussion of the rights of an employer to prevent gun's on their property and how those rights come into conflict with an individuals right to self defense. What I got instead was "HURR DURR, You're a big tough guy with your GunZ!!! I ain't scared!!!" Par for the course. I try to lower myself to that level as little as possible, but let's not pretend that every debate about this issue on DU doesn't rapidly degenerate into some sort of ad hominem gang-bang.
