What was the last big issue that you changed your position on?

46. Guns, before that MJ.

MJ, to me, I was taught was a destructive influence that makes people stupid and was supposedly worse than Alcy and Ciggy.

After learning more about the issue, I found that the other two, particularly Alcy was far more destructive and has created more problems.

So, I decided that decriminalization was for the best, if not actual legalization and taxation.

In regards to guns, I was more in to controlling them before. It is one of the reasons friends called me a sword snob. That guns are cowardly in comparison to face to face combat. Actually, I still consider guns cowardly in comparison to face to face combat, it just makes things too damn easy. As such, people who have no business using them get them and think they have bigger balls than they do, and empowers them to act when the best thing to do is to actually do nothing. It is why some morons out there get far more hot-headed thinking they are big enough to attack someone physically, when they really shouldn't. The problem I have with guns is that due to the ease of it, people get more aggressive and think of physical solutions to things they really should settle by talk.

Stating that, due to the laws and such, I have conceded that it is best not to limit the sale of guns, and they should be able to buy whatever they want, provided that they 1 - Get training on use, etiquette and civics, and they have to have a re-certification every few years. 2 - Insurance, since they really should pay for possible damages and so forth. 3 - Proper storage and maintenance. 4 - Brandishing them as a means of intimidation should be an incarcerationable offense(I think this is the case, but too many open carry advocates still do this).
