General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Waco Shoot Out Gun Confiscation Fantasies [View all]The difference is that gun apologists will halt any discussion of guns to howl and screech if someone makes a dick joke about guns. This kneejerk sensitivity suggests that something deeper than a puritanically stunted sense of humor is at play. Sensing a vulnerability, it is fitting that this vulnerability be exploited.
Much like the gun apologists' rationalization that they have to keep guns guns guns for self-defense or for government overthrow, when the likelihood of either need is statistically very small. Their perceived need suggests that something deeper is going on.
Dismissing it as "low hanging fruit" is an attempt to declare off-limits a real and actual weakness in the credibility of gun apologists' justification for gun ownership. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way.
