I see some good words in here, but I'm not sure what they mean.Nighteyes said:Now, to be absolutely precise, I never said anything about a "compromise" resolution. What I was talking about was CONSENSUS, commonly defined as a general agreement; an idea or opinion that is shared by all the people. In other words, a "win-win solution."
If you aren't talking about a compromise, what are you talking about?
What does "consensus" mean to you, and how would we reach it without compromise? ... Or rather, and more to the point, how ELSE can we reach consensus without giving up our RKBA?
This statement is well invested with emotional weight, but I'm not certain that it means anything. It appears to be a way of insulting or denigrating others who don't agree with you (or, to be fair, haven't understood your words), using the language of pop psychology -- but maybe I misunderstood what you meant to say.Only those who are locked into their own monkey-brains would have interpreted my words as advocating a compromise.
I'm sure your point is very clear to you, but you really need to make it clear to the rest of us reading this or you are kind of wasting your time typing.Thank you yet again for helping me to make my point.
1) What does a consensus on gun control look like in your vision?
2) How would we get there?
3) How could it not involve giving up some aspects of the right to bear arms?
4) What would be gained by our side in such a give-and-take?
5) Is this compromise, and why do you think it is or it isn't?
