And thats fine. But for people who are comfortable with the tool, (Because that's what a gun is, a tool, nothing more or less), why should they be banned from carrying them out there just because other people are uncomfortable with handling them.

I guess that solution is too pragmatic.

Why do you bring up something that has nothing to do with anything??

Do you not hunt? Not know anyone that hunts? Never been alone in bear/cougar/wolf country where a gun might just save your life?

I thought about carrying for protection in bear country, but then I realized I’m more afraid of the gun than the bear.
Have you seen those flares for bears? Oughttabe pretty effective.

And this is the hard lining attitude that prevents actual discussions from being bad on the subject.

That sort of logic prompts the easily predictable response of "come get them from me".

Which of course gets a lot of chest banging by both sides but no actual negotiationing.

Geezer is a marine combat veteran who served during the Vietnam war.
Shirley to the rescue.
I doubt if Geezer would ever give up his guns (if'n he has any).

I don't need a gun. I don't hunt, I go to the grocery store.

Don't worry nothing happened after 21 first graders got killed, the NRA has your back.

my whole family has guns, but all support common sense legislation that limits access to certain kinds of weapons, and more restrictive access (and policing) for certain citizens

Count me as one of these.

Having been shot (accidentally by cop), I can tell you that I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Not even DC.

Not my argument. Try to pay attention to the things said and not just obliterate common sense by sticking to your hardline narrative.
