Gun Control thread (merged many)

But that would require looking at both sides and thinking about them. And then you risk getting called "fence-sitter" or "non-commital".

I know.
You called me that recently, but hey I can live with that risk

Of course that is usually said by someone who already fell for something and is now afraid to let go of it.

Easily and frequently demonstrated.
On the one extreme you have the "its the guns".
You can drag them to reality where they agree its some guns, some people, those people, not those people, not those guns, not that situation.
Then they get frightened and fall back to "its the guns"
On the other extreme you have the "no restrictions"
Likewise you can drag them to reality where they agree to these restrictions, those restrictions, these people, those people, those situations.
Then they get frightened and fall back to "no restrictions".

Both extremes manage to destroy their own arguements, but still run away to try and cling to them again and again.

But be reasonable. The middle ground is also no man's land, and that's the most frightening ground of all.

Not really since the two extremes are shooting so far beyond their targets the flak the middle gets is just harmless noise.

Quite a comical process really isn't it.
