Let's try out that bigotry thing in a different light. Are, or are not, the following positions those of a bigot?

I'll ask my question again. How, specifically, are YOU hurt by the neighborhood allowing black people?

1. April 4th, 2005. I had a black person stick a 9mm in my face to get $20.
2. July 16th, 2005. The car in front of me went off the road, while the black man was beating the black woman. As all I could distinguish was that a woman was trying to flee and a man was restraining her and beating her into submission, I felt I had to intervene. Both of these people put me at risk of bodily harm or death.
3. My wife sees 60-70 black people a week at the ER. Besides being occasionally hit or pissed on, it costs all of us about $35,000 a week for their care. That is one of thousands of hospitals.
4. My taxes are higher at a local and federal level both to pay for taking care of these self-induced cripples (and their financial responsibilities) and to pay for the damage they do to society with property damage and harm to other individuals.
5. Ditto my insurance rates.

One more time:

I'll ask my question again. How, specifically, are YOU hurt by someone possessing guns?

1. April 4th, 2005. I had a gun owner stick a 9mm in my face to get $20.
2. July 16th, 2005. The car in front of me went off the road, while the gun owner man was beating the woman. As all I could distinguish was that a woman was trying to flee and a man was restraining her and beating her into submission, I felt I had to intervene. Both of these people put me at risk of bodily harm or death.
3. My wife sees 60-70 gunshot victims a week at the ER. Besides being occasionally hit or pissed on, it costs all of us about $35,000 a week for their care. That is one of thousands of hospitals.
4. My taxes are higher at a local and federal level both to pay for taking care of these self-induced cripples (and their financial responsibilities) and to pay for the damage they do to society with property damage and harm to other individuals.
5. Ditto my insurance rates.

Yes or no: Are these the words of bigots? If so, why, if not, why not?

Your logic goes like this:
I say, "All murderers are bad."
You say, "Ah ha!! Change the noun and it is, 'All black people are bad'. Therefore, you are a bigot!"

Do you have any idea how infantile this makes you sound? You can't understand separating things people have no control over, and which are irrelevant from those actions they chose to take, which are quite relevant.

The many times I've argued with anti-gun proponents, I addressed the issues, the good, the bad, and the importance of rights. I never felt I had to run and cry 'bigot'. But then I had an argument that stood on its own.

Now answer the questions put to you and quit trying to hide from them. You haven't answered a question in about 20 posts, and its fairly clear why. You have no answers that don't make you look foolish.
