that openly declares facts and arguing from facts to be anathema to their cause.

You accept self-defense is a right. You prefer facts and data over blindly accepting whatever someone else feeds you. I'm wondering how much distance is left between us.

Would it surprise you to learn that RKBA advocates also prefer to keep guns away from convicted violent criminals and would like to see substantive strategies that reduce the number of suicides and negligent discharges?

The descriptor 'cop-killer hollowpoints' is PURE BS. YES	pablo_marmol	Sep 2016	#28

Or pump your own gas	DonP	Sep 2016	#59
Actually, hollowpoints are legal in NJ. THe rest of your post stands, though.	benEzra	Sep 2016	#68
Because of people who were fed misinformation, which led them to support the proposed laws.	beevul	Sep 2016	#58
Same reason that "assault weapons" are demonized.	pablo_marmol	Sep 2016	#60
Hollowpoints aren't banned in NJ (or to my knowledge, anywhere else).	benEzra	Sep 2016	#67

A question. When you said:	guillaumeb	Sep 2016	#52
I'm going to say some things but don't take my word for it. Poll my fellow RKBA advocates.	Nuclear Unicorn	Sep 2016	#54
Second on the serious time for gun crimes and follow up on straw sales	DonP	Sep 2016	#55
I'll "third" these ideas.	pablo_marmol	Sep 2016	#62
I understand that these are your personal views that may be shared. On that:	guillaumeb	Sep 2016	#66
I also prefer "allow"	discntnt_irny_srcsm	Sep 2016	#69
I actually said "family" not immediate family because	guillaumeb	Sep 2016	#73
BGCs, carelessness, training, etc	discntnt_irny_srcsm	Sep 2016	#79
Make training a yearly requirement?	guillaumeb	Sep 2016	#81

One of the considerations is:	Nuclear Unicorn	Sep 2016	#75
Training and testing might be something to subcontract to selected gun ranges	guillaumeb	Sep 2016	#76
Something tells me	Nuclear Unicorn	Sep 2016	#77
quick question,	gejohnston	Sep 2016	#78
My first question would be:Does training ever hurt?	guillaumeb	Sep 2016	#80
If its used to turn a right into a privilege, yes, it hurts. N/T	beevul	Sep 2016	#82
"Does training ever hurt?"	Nuclear Unicorn	Sep 2016	#83
I second that approval. eom	guillaumeb	Sep 2016	#85
It doesn't hurt,	gejohnston	Sep 2016	#86
Would you support universal gun safety training...	beevul	Sep 2016	#87
If it had an "opt out" provision.	guillaumeb	Sep 2016	#88
That's a good idea	discntnt_irny_srcsm	Sep 2016	#89
I wouldn't object to that. N/T	beevul	Sep 2016	#90
Book by liberal criminologists James Wright & Peter Rossi.........	pablo_marmol	Sep 2016	#61

Good enough for Jimmy Carter to hire, thrown under the bus by The Controllers.	pablo_marmol	Sep 2016	#65
We've just been handed a prime example of how "gun control" relies on fabrication.	pablo_marmol	Sep 2016	#46
Seems contrary to "we want a discussion" doesn't it?	beevul	Sep 2016	#47
Kind of like their version of "compromise"?	DonP	Sep 2016	#49
Exactly right	Duckhunter935	Sep 2016	#51
And not just in "Bans-a-lot Land."	NaturalHigh	Sep 2016	#50
