sad thruth is that they'd prolly be dense enough to say "Thats already illegal"
totally missing your point
lol
these people don't think in logic they think in emotion
which just boils down to "I'm right and we should do what i want because im angry"
Emotion is evil.
Especially with idiots on „the left“ that have a total lack anything even resembling empathy.
Emotion is a motivator,
But just because you're upset doesn't mean you're right, nor should have priority over logic
If you‘re upset and make a decision based on that... you‘re probably wrong.
nah thats not true
If a person swinging a knife, or firing his gun around makes me upset
and i leave the area due to that, its not a wrong idea 😛
but the thing is that is a logical response too
"the left" just doesn't have logic, they just believe that the level of being upset somehow overrides reasoning
I‘m anti gun... not because „think of the children“, but because it is easier to defend yourself from someone who does NOT have a gun... (don’t want to get into it, just an example of logic vs emotion 😉 )and yeah your example is not right because emotion but because logic
I've been over the 'no gun' debate way too many times now to bring forth the typical arguments, myself. lol
the main reasoning behind having guns though,
Is to level the playing field against someone that has more in his arsenal
say you're a scrawny asian woman of 4 ft 5, weighing like 50 kilos
and some 6 ft guy with well over 90 kilos wants to rob you
or someone who has a gun and you're in a locked down area so you can't escape
Well... its better to remove guns from the equation alltogether than to have the bigger arsenal... but again... not going into it now... too much emotion, not enough logic in that topic.
because the issue behind legality of a gun is no concern of a criminal
Norway has gun laws, that didn't stop Anders Breivik from mowing down 40+ children
Except you can't do that. There is no "nobody has guns" option.
it didn't stop those terrorists in france
and i know where you're coming from, i "ideally" wouldn't want guns in a society either,
But since its not impossible to get a gun, realistically i can't have the ideal anymore
Yeah, I would rather they didn't exist.
But they do.
I should have used another example 😩
It's alright lol, there aren't very many anti-gun examples to choose from.
I mean for logic vs emotion
Oh, I don't know much about that.
I do know that an emotional response is also a part of our survival instinct.
Logically i'm okay with guns for leveling the playing field
Emotionally, I want a gun so i can kill anyone i've crossed to the point where i'd fear they'll want to retaliate against me
for Pre-venge
cuz thats what Emotions really boil down to
One last thing about guns... the idea that there is „common sense gun laws“ that improve the situation in the US is complete bullshit. Everything you could do will only serve to arm criminals.
"me me me"
Or civil war...
common sense gun laws are just an appeal to emotion,
Yeah... the emotion of „think of the children“ (which usually gets a „why? What are you hiding?“ from me)
its common sense in the middle east to rape girls if they don't dress "modestly" enough,
So if you go with "Just use common sense" then cultures will clash
Well, it is funny people speak of "common sense" gun laws as if they are a self-explanatory thing, yet when asked they can't name a single provision.
its because there isn't any such provisions, "Common sense" is subjective,
Right-wingers think its common sense to work for your share
Left-wingers think its common sense that as long as you work (at anything) you deserve as much as anyone that works an equal amount of time
Christians think its common sense to pray to god
Atheists think its common sense to be a nice guy that finishes last
You'd be surprised how many people don't know that automatic weapons are already banned in the US, for the most part.
