And someone who compares the slaughter of six year olds to autoerotic asphyxiation as if they are in any way related, I cannot take seriously.[/quote]

I’m not saying they’re related. I’m saying that the incidence of deaths by rifle homicide is so small that it’s similar to or less than lots of things you don’t go through life being “scared” of, such as ladders and lawnmowers and falling out of bed. And yet, I’ve known some of my fellow Democrats who have become so emotion-driven that (and I’m NOT making this up) they have told me they’ve heard sirens in their neighborhood and had a panic attack because they’re worried about someone with a rifle. And I’ve known some who are so tremendously ignorant on the technicalities of the subject that they can’t have an intelligent conversation.

So what happens is the Hysterical Old Biddy crowd lumps all firearm related deaths together, to include suicide, young men shooting each other by the thousands (usually related to gang violence), hunting accidents, etc. and we end up looking stupid and not deserving to be taken seriously.

This is why the first thing I want to hear from someone, such as a political candidate, is their stance on “AR” rifles — because it’s usually a good acid test to quickly gauge whether or not they deserve to be taken seriously.  [/quote]

Ok.  We are aware of your fixation about that. [/quote]
