Peoples views on guns is a key insight into a persons' core and a barometer for who a person REALLY is in my opinion. They fall into a few top categories.
- Die hard anti-gun. A completely irrational viewpoint on guns, which is an indicator on common sense, life experience, inability to learn from failure, and inability to compromise, and a failure to believe or understand in the Constitution, Rights, and fundamental values. Also a hypocrite because many of these folks have or support armed guards, police, etc. yet don't trust in the government, which is another anomoly. This person is just whacked in the head. They don't believe in, understand or support fundamental things like self defense, hunting, military sacrifices to defend the Constitution and American way of life, history, etc.
- "Common" sense anti-gun. This is a slippery slope to total gun control as we've seen throughout history. Shows some reason, but still a dangerous position to be in. They generally support "their" right to the 2A for "certain" guns, but not those scary X guns because "why do you need a gun that does X?"
- Varying degrees of pro gun. Shows an understanding or appreciation of one or all of the following: Constitution, history, sacrifices of military to defend the Constitution, the value of guns, hunting, core principle of self defense, etc.
Now there are definately some of those 'oblivions' who have never really considered the issue. And I've dated many women that never shot a gun. It's fun to teach them and I've converted many gun neutral women to pro gun. Many bought a gun after I taught them and two even took their concealed carry classes.
The irony is that she herself is being close-minded by not being open-minded towards his views on gun control. The hypocrisy is stunning, and it is pretty sad that someone would choose whether to date a person based solely on their stance o gun control.
I disagree with this quote. It's not close minded, it's calculated decision making. Why would you want to date someone that doesn't share fundamental principles?
So, whether you're a man or a woman, my advice is don't procreate or get married to someone that doesn't share your views on religion, politics or guns because these are just deep important issues that won't change over time.
