Methinks you are taking a jestful internet meme as reality, with no supporting evidence for your ensuing claims.


I would argue to those here who are pro-gun that emotional reactions, particularly for those who demonstrate poor impulse control, are not the best decisions in using lethal force.

Who would that be? And you seem to be implying that you are capable of making good decisions... but the evidence for that is also lacking.
