Well to a point I agree. I had given up on this thread as the main response I was getting from the likes of you was insults and abuse. And I am woefully ill equipped to debate on that moronic level. However seeing you and the other pro gunners jumped into scotlandforever and so quickly descended into your regular practice of marginalisation and abuse I thought I should show her that not everyone on this website is of the same disposition. And point out the massive holes in your arguments and logic (although that is like pointing out the proverbial elephant in the room!)

And you still cant and I except will never get it. One off anecdotes do not form a basis for a logical argument. You and your wife could have ran a called for help. Would that have worked? Maybe , maybe not. It is irrelevant. The fact is the issue in question is not about you and your wife or the incident that happened to you. It is a broader philosophical debate on the benefits vs hazards of gun proliferation. And that is one you have proved you are woefully ill-prepared to debate.
