And, yet, they still have "gun crime" somehow . . .Japan has the most stringent gun control in the world.
None so blind as those who will not see.

Whenever this drivel comes up in discussions of women's self-defense against rape, I ALWAYS say, "Here's a news flash: Xena, Warrior Princess was NOT a documentary."Deanimator hit the nail on the head. I was reading somewhere (an anti-gun facebook group I think) that there were "better ways" to fight against an attacker, "like a knife or your bare hands or whatever". So I guess that means that the antis would rather:
I've never succeeded in converting an anti. They act on emotion, not logic or reason.
Like many of you, I don't argue with anti's anymore.
I wasn't saying much in the debate about guns. (There were 2 anti's against me).
It is useless to argue with antis.
I always try to avoid arguing with the anti-gun folks,
But you have all convinced me. I guess you're right. Actually taking a stand and attempting to show people the truth is "useless". As a matter of fact, pointing out the futility of arguing in support of the Second Amendment to those who would hasten its demise has convinced me. I will no longer participate in using my voice to defend the Second Amendment against those who would do it harm. You have all convinced me of its pointlessness.
When a nice but socialist friend started in on the need versus greed thing, I announced, a little menacingly, that I needed a yacht. He started trying to answer that I didn't really "need" a yacht, but all your normally longwinded correspondent did was repeat, "I need a yacht," in a vaguely intimidating tone. A little light bulb finally went incandescent over his cranium, and he never used or, I believe, thought in terms of "need" again.
