Overlooked and horribly understated.
Many get sucked into statistics, such as happened after some yahoo org distributed a ‘study’ that showed no correlation between gun ownership and reduction in crime.
Getting sucked into the debate on maleable statistics is ‘taking the bait’. It really is a simple argument.
But emotions grab headlines and the stupid eat it up...hence the drama of the past week & ongoing.
But note how the media is carefully treading around Elliot Rogers mental state; that’s a BIG tell...
Strong vs. weak; Predator vs. prey.
The rest of it is really an argument of hyperbole & abject servitude to the State vs. freedom. While written sparsely & simply, there really is a good reason the 2nd Amendment didn’t come 3rd, 4th or otherwise...
And the nut of the argument...one I LOVE to broach: If the argument that a lack of guns (and other weapons, for that matter), coupled with State Control, creates a Utopian society free of violence, is not the ultimate expression of that concept a ‘state-run prison’?
Take it from there and have fun.
