| 53. All you did is say we are wrong. That doesn't make sense. |
|
Show me that we are wrong on ANY of those ideas. You listed 5. At least offer a reason for saying you are right and we are wrong.
I don't say guns should be used to prevent theft. I say guns should be used to protect life. Bankers and all those guys are not using violence. You are fixing the wrong problem.
You are saying 1) There are not dangerous places. 2) Police are always close enough to protect everybody 3) All dangerous people can be avoided 4) A gun doesn't help a save a victim. 5) There are more effective ways to prevent violence than personal reliance.
Offer an argument for your points. Some reason to believe these are true.Something, anything.
