Psychologists aren’t required to take medical classes. Perhaps you confuse them with psychiatrists.

“Psychology Today equated persuading minds to support gun control with persuading minds to support arguments for climate change.”


I agree. Weak, intellectually-dishonest and lazy minds similarly fall for gun control as they do for “climate change.”

Persuading people to believe lies is called ‘brainwashing’.

I made my gun rack in 7th grade (1965).

Made a cannon in high school shop class (1969).

You know what’s also fun to do is go to Classmates.com and look at yearbooks from that time as well and see that most high schools in even places like New York State or Massachusetts or even New Jersey having rifle clubs.

Hmmmm. Perhaps when you’ve been caught lying too many times, some folks with still functioning brains are reluctant to buy your load of crap.

And you learned responsibility and discipline the same as I did. Something sadly absent from our youth of today.

And I’ll bet you carried your guns to school and caught a few hours of hunting before the sun went down.

Actually, no.

Left ‘em in the rack.

And the cannon was a Father’s Day present ... and too heavy to carry very far, anyway.

Well I guess you’re younger than I am because during hunting season many of us brought guns to school and never even thought about locking our cars or trucks. Times were sure different.

Well, the arguments for Gore-Bull Warming are all hot air.
I guess that means the same is true for the arguments for gun control.

Propaganda only works on weak minds.
