No, I most certainly did not. I was explaining that a method that gains right for the most people in the shortest amount of time is better than trying to perfect one region while ignoring everyone in a large, populous state.
The method that gains rights for the most people in the shortest time is ... what now? Oh, it was, "
opening up all the states instead of trying to get things perfect in some of the states." Literally you are saying let's make everyone wait until NJ, MD, NY, HI, and the other hold-outs finally come over to our way of thinking. THAT's your plan for "rights for the most people in the shortest time. Does that really make sense to you? Hold up permitless carry in all these other states until we get NEW JERSEY on board? Really. Uh huh.
And you've still not expressed a clear and plausible reason WHY we must do this, except for the increasingly absurd sounding "gotta keep up the statistics" idea.
AND, you're looking at a dozen or more states all working on this right now and saying it's got to be either/or. Apparently, it is not legitimate to work on increasing concealed carry rights in the worst states while simultaneously working to help places like Colorado, North Carolina, etc., break on through into the light and ditch permitting all together? What is the conflict? Why demand that it cannot be both? We fight on many fronts. No issue demands that all states wait on every last other state to all toe the line before marching the next step forward. The idea's a bit absurd. Why are you demanding it for carry rights?
You know, I was considering working through your points
Sure. Ok. I would, of course, welcome that.
but what was "those statistics don't make sense!" has given way to you implying that I hate poor people.
I didn't say you hate them. I said you're willing to screw them out of the rights that could be theirs in order to preserve needlessly redundant statistic counts. By your own words, that is absolutely true.
I made a statement that something has a potential downside and was asked to explain myself, which I have.
Uh no. You said people in states poised to go to "Constitutional Carry" should stop, should wait, should put their progress on hold because it would be better to wait for all the most stubborn "anti" states to come to our side. That's different from saying that there's a potential downside.
One is akin to saying, "aww gee, that pretty white eggshell got broken ... but man this is a tasty omelette!" The other is saying that people who could attain a level of gun rights not tasted in their lifetimes, or their parents' lifetimes, should put that on hold for a few more decades because counting CCW license
might bolster our case if New Jersey ever someday considers giving carry permits a moment's thought in court.
I'm not dealing with your mudslinging.
Go ahead and be rude if you think that's the "high road". ... Your derision sprinkled with your misunderstanding of a pretty simply stat problem just makes you appear that you are fighting to fight.
Chortle, fooey, ah shucks, guffaw.
This is sounding familiar. Point A proves unsupportable. Jump to point b, c, d, etc. When the points are all completely disassembled, inspected, and dismissed, resort to "you're a big meanie!!!"
