In reply to the discussion: 6 Reasons Your Right-Wing Friend Isnt Coming To Your Side On Gun Control [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(101,311 posts)143. The woman is a stubborn dolt. That's why she's not coming to our side.
Her own 'reasons' contradict each other. If she's going to say "We Seriously Dont Care About Gun Laws in Other Countries", she then can't turn around and claim it's about an "intrinsic and inalienable right". It's her own fault that "We Rarely Get to Come to the Conversation in Good Faith", because they stonewall any suggestion. That's why they got rid of the measure to make it harder for people with mental health issues to pass background checks, this time last year. "The Loudest Voices Are Often the Most Ignorant" applies to people like her. She thinks she's civilised, She's not. She's a barbarian.
They aren't looking for solutions. They're looking for more guns.
