You do understand that, I hope.

I dont want to argue about guns with anybody.

To me it is like arguing about the value of too much radiation or something similar.

To me, you see, gun ownership in the face of our overwhelming problem with guns is irresponsible and selfish and I will NEVER agree with gun "folks"

So we can discuss almost anything else, if you want.
