guns

You said guns have no positive use. And now you walk it back and say yes, there is a use you understand. To me that just leaves the door open to more potential uses.

I'll tell you, I am very much pro gun control. I want it to be hard to get them. I don't necessarily even believe in the whole home defense thing, and jokingly suggest often that the best defense is a bright flashlight. We probably agree on a lot.

I'm not attacking your character, just your lack of sincerity. When you make statements like you did in your first post that are hyperbolic, it erodes your position.

People have hobbies. I'm not a gun fetishist. I'm a gun owner. Outside of my outright telling someone that I am, they would have no idea. I don't wear camo. I don't have NRA stickers on my car. I don't make quips about guns don't kill people I kill people. But I don't besmirch people liking weapons as a hobby, in the same way I don't besmirch dudes who are into swords.
