The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There are 75,000,000 or so gun owners in the USA. Of these, how many would you estimate fall into the categories of "irresponsible gun owners, vicious gun owners, senile gun owners, intoxicated gun owners, gun owners on legal drugs that affect their judgement, careless gun owners"?

In their view? All of them.
In their minds, no one "needs" a firearm of any type. The obvious rebuttal to that is that your rights and my rights aren't based on what some 3rd party believes - oftentimes just based on their overwrought feelings.

In liberal cities criminals have more rights than citizens. In liberal cities left wing governments also want to make sure that citizens are unable to protect themselves from the consequences of left wing policies. There's no rational explanation for that.
