(9,644 posts)My substance is just as substantive as the substantial amount of regurgitation of nra talking points that takes place around here.
I am really quite alarmed at the rehashing old ground and re-spewing of the same old tired nra talking points in defense of firearms. As a gun owner I have a horse in this race. Frequently I am embarrassed and disappointed at the quality of discussion, misinterpretation and mangling of statistical data and defense of the abhorrent by the gun bunnies. But I do agree with you to some extent - not being able to use language properly is not the major issue.
But there is a problem. Refusal to acknowledge that and move the discussion forward is a delaying tactic known as stonewalling. The gun bunnies have taken to stonewalling the discussion like a fish takes to water. Is that because there is no real defense except the 2A? Is it because they can't think for themselves? Is it because there is no real substance to their position beyond "me me me"? Is it the hypnotic power of parkerized steel and copper plating? Simple fear and hate? Curious minds want to know.
Until there is some real discussion, and an acknowledgement that the people of this country are giving their lives so that gun bunnies can have easy access, the grammar police will continue to do their job.
Thanks for your participation.
