Just One Question
I had to go (sadly) to Joe huffman’s blog to get his email so I could cancel my place at boomershoot. While I was there, I saw that Joe is asking Just One Question. Think you have an answer? you probably don’t. Read and keep this question in your head.
Can you demonstrate just one time, one place, throughout all of human history, where restricting the access of handheld weapons to the average person made them safer?
Of course you can’t. You’re trying to prove a negative. It’s an unfalsifiable proposition, thereby automatically suspect.
What you can demonstrate is that weapons DO make their wielders safer.
But the GFWs are too stupid to get that.

Sure, when we took that handgun from that drunk idiot waving it around in a public place. We made the local a whole lot safer for those around us.
What, that’s not what your looking for? Sorry, that’s all I’ve got. :)
Yea, smart arse answer.
I guess it depends on whether “the average person” is a drunken idiot.
Which…um. Yeah, I may have to actually take the position there which might make me come out on the anti-gun side of the question. :)
Doesn’t make me anti-gun though.
The average person isn’t a drunken idiot. Not all the time, anyway.
