What ever floats your boat.

And to me productive is trying to find a workable solution, not being so far to one side that there is no room to even discuss the issue reasonably

Depends on what you seek to solve I guess. From what I can see the anti-gun people only want to solve the "problem" of Americans having access to firearms. My solution is to reject that completely. That ok with you?

And you talk about reason over emotion. You seem awfully emotional about this.

So because I prefer that our laws be crafted by reason instead of emotion that means I have no right to strong beliefs on the subject of civil liberties?
