(20,709 posts)Like I said in my last post, the pro-gun-control people here are probably more gun-friendly than the average DUer. Iverglas is another example of someone that you called an "anti-gun zealot", but whose views are also fairly gun-friendly as far as rational progressives go. And so on down the list. It is the pro-gunners here who are way off the chart, which is why, as I have pointed out many times, the only people that y'all can find to support your point of view are loony gun bloggers or right-wing media outlets.
The thing is, if you spend some time in, let's say Texas, you start to see that there is a big difference between people who own guns and enjoying target shooting, versus the people who stash loaded guns in every nook of their homes, who spend their lives in "condition yellow", who can't sit down to eat without running through a half dozen DGU scenarios in their mind. It doesn't take long to realize that this has nothing to do with personal safety or self-defense, it is all about the "gun culture" and the sense of empowerment. Combine that with a loony anti-government ideology, and some nonsensical blather about "freedom" and "the constitution", and there you have your typical gun nut.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Oh, and regarding Rachel's supposedly false statements, as usual you provide no evidence here: neither a link to what she said nor any evidence that it was false. It is of course possible that Rachel made a mistake on some technicality (I'm not sure exactly what she said that has you so upset), but since almost nothing you say on this board is ever true, my guess is that this is just another piece of fiction you picked up on a gun blog.
