(26 posts)71. We need to talk definitions
1> I think our definitions of extremism may vary...
2> I refer you to John Lott's 2nd book on the subject "The Bias Against Guns".
3> Backup. The overall argument is that the problem with gun shows is that anyone can get an "assault rifle" (still undefined) without a background check. Not true. Only a vanishingly small number of transactions that happen at gun shows are between private individuals, the rest are with dealers, and still need that background check. But I can see we're not going to agree on this issue, so why don't we agree to disagree?
4> We all want to stop events like that. We disagree on the means to do so. See previously mentioned references and agree to disagree?

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
