[quote=Steve;1116983]It's all we need.

BTW, did you make any reply to the comment about the vote not supporting your view?

[quote=scotlandforever;1117000]You're starting to drift all over the map.

First, you say that violent crimes exists primarily in the "subculture". Now you there are people who will crack and threaten people.

If one of these guys doesn't have a gun, but has a baseball bat instead, you're every bit as fucked if you're not armed...

[quote=Steve;1117002]No, you are not.

[quote=scotlandforever;1117001]What comment would you like?

In the poll, I simply asked "Do You Carry A Gun". There was no "view". It was a simple "yes" or "no" question. I absolutely expected the "no" responses to far outweight the "yes" responses.

I'm not sure what kind of "comment" you're looking with regards to what "view"...

Really?

What're you gonna' do?

Call him a name to make him stop swinging the bat?

Really, it doesn't merit debate. It's plain you have more chance against a bat than a gun...

I think I'm bowing out of this now, it's like schoolboy talk IMO. We'll be discussing bat sizes next. No offence.

Have a good day.

Ah - so now because someone wishes to defend himself he must be insane and unintelligent? Someone who is law abiding is somehow more dangerous than a criminal?

And if 50%+1 of the voters in your country decided that you should be executed for eating grapefruit at your kitchen table in your bathrobe, would you agree that the will of the people is correct?

This poll doesn’t address the topic you’re addressing. The question should have been something more like “Do you believe citizens deserve the right to carry firearms to protect themselves and innocents around them”.

USPOL membership is not a representative cross-section of the US population, and it’s open to non-US residents.

Oh really? I assure you, if I, or any averagely built man were to attack you or any averagely built woman with a baseball bat, the woman is going to get very badly hurt, and probably killed.

I think what you really meant by that is, you realize you've made a completely indefensible comment and now you're running away.

I suppose if my position were mired in an illogical thought process, I'd say it doesn't merit debate, too...

You completely missed the point I was making.

Your assailant has a bat. Do you stand a better chance in defending yourself is you have nothing, or if you have a gun?

Your position is so heavy with ridiculous thought, I guess it comes as no surprise that you're running away from the discussion...

Thanks, but the question asks exactly what I wanted to know. I was interested in knowing how many people carry guns. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you'd like to ask a different question, start a different thread...

I don't have a problem with the question. I was simply pointing out to SF that this poll has little to do with the topic she was raising, and couldn’t be used to justify her position.
