What do you have to lose? Now I’m curious!
Really though, no, I didn’t pay attention to the entire conversation, but I made clear the context of my comments and what I was responding to. Sounds like I really missed out on a thriller of a convo.
As far as stereotypes go, I’ve done no such thing, as I’m referring to real, tangible people and science from actual professionals who study in the appropriate fields. Maybe you have me confused for someone else, because I’m not sure what’s sensational or stereotypical about what I’ve said (you’re free to point it out, though, and I can provide a real life reference to prove otherwise).
I never even said guns are bad. I also said they have two uses (not one), because I’m honestly unaware of anything beyond the two! So if I’m supposed to read the entire conversation you should at least be reading my posts. I’m sure you mean well and are just taking this personally for reasons beyond me, but you’re wildly mischaracterising what I’m saying.
So, go ahead, harmless education time: what use does a gun have beyond killing or recreation/fun?
