How does anyone reconcile the fact that innocent people are killed every day buy gun owners

63. Then quit using them

You are painting all gun owners with a very broad brush and then whining when some of us push back and point out the flaws in your logic and assumptions. Lower the poutrage and engage the rational thinking part of your brain.

To personalize this...you know nothing about me, so let be offer up some personal information:
- I am black
- I am a widower
- I had family in the Deacons for Defense. A group the stopped the KKK by force in some areas.
- I am a full professor at a public university in SoCal, though I am retired from $BIGJOB
- I live in the twigs (well past the sticks) My neighborhood cats are cougars and the vermin are mostly rattlesnakes. Of course I carry a gun, openly at home, concealed otherwise. Its not a fetish, its survival out here.
- I regularly teach handgun classes on my property focused on women and GLBT people. They are people who are dramatically under served when it comes to self defense. You can't bash an armed gay.

It important to understand the detail when it comes to technical items, and guns are technical items. When I see such errors being made I will correct them. Same goes with logic and reasoning. That doesn't make me a gun nut, just a stickler for things.
