What exactly about my comments were obtuse?
You intentionally tried to portray insurance as "fear based" in order to further your opinion that people only carry guns out of fear. Intentional misrepresentation is pretty obtuse, if you ask me.
Where did I claim to know the mind of anyone? In fact, it was you and others that made erroneous claims about liberals and myself being a victim. Pure fantasy.
By accusing all gun owners of only carrying guns for one reason, fear, you presume to know the thought process of anyone who picks up a weapon in self-defense. :shrug: this isn't exactly hard to follow here. When you speak in generalities, you'd better be able to back them up.
Btw, you are in fact incorrect, if you believe I called anyone a victim or attacked anyone's political bias in this thread. However, since you like playing the quote game, feel free to post any excerpts of mine from this thread that you believe support your baseless accusation.
I'll wait.
If you believe I said anyone carrying a gun is a coward, you'll need to copy and paste that for us. If so, I'll apologize.
Most recently, you threw out this little gem:
People carry guns out of fear. Plain and simple. You're not brave because have a gun. This entire notion that strength is related to a firearm sickens me.
So...anyone carrying a gun is doing so out of fear. You gave no other alternatives. They are hoping that the gun will give them some sort of "strength." That's what your words say, right?
…which brings us to the earlier quote:
BTW, only cowards rely on guns to make them strong.
Now let's look at your views together. So people only carry guns out of fear, to appear stronger. People who rely on those guns to appear stronger are actually cowards. According to your logic citizens who carry guns, do so because they are actually cowards.
I'll wait patiently for the apology you promised.
Please quote it. Quote the entire post so it's not out of context.
I prefer no one except police and the armed forces have guns. Since that can't be the case, I'd prefer very few guns as opposed to more guns being in public circulation...
I'm not going to humor you by posting the whole thread. The statement stands alone, there's nothing else required to interpret that.
