Dry States where Booze is banned but you can buy guns...

Anyone who thinks successful defensive use of a gun is more common than successful criminal use of a firearm is barking mad.

And?

Did you not understand the statement?

Do you think the right to bear arms is the same as the right to consume booze?

Type that out, if you will. Say it.

I understood it fine, hence my question.

Is this passive-aggressive post/question directed at me or Whirly?

You can't be upset over passive aggressiveness given you bingo Raptor all the time for it. But no it's not passive aggressiveness, just a question for you.

No need to be so bitter mad...

Anyhow, since that question was directed at me: No, I don't think the right to drink booze is constitutionally protected. At least I'm not aware of a line in the Constitution or Bill of Rights (Amendments I-X) that explicitly notes this. Would be open to being convinced it does though.

So can you explain why folk are trying to conflate the two? Must be just trolling then, the other alternative is just being unintelligent.

I believe some people not from the US have a tough time understanding America's crazy fascination with guns and some of the utterly relaxed practices in some states, when many of these same gun-people would happily infringe on another's rights without a second thought (example below), but shout "Muh 2nd mend'ment!" if their rights were infringed upon, or even hinted at.

eg When the Trump admin proposed that Muslims be labelled and have to be part of a 'Muslim Registry'.

If they have a tough time understanding perhaps some education is needed before commenting.

And your beef reminds me a lot of democrats who whine about the rule of law but also whine when illegals are deported. But you'll dismiss it, gaslight, etc. 🙂

You cite a study on Defensive Gun Use and how prevalent it is.

And then pick out one example where defensive gun use did not save the day in an extremely rare scenario known as a "mass shooting."

Why not pick one of the dozens of recent defensive gun use stories to counter your point?

Be honest, you know why. 😮‍💨

How many more times are you going to respond to DDM's same post?

Calm down.

LOL!!!

At this point do you think he even reads the posts or just quotes the latest post from Rob and just says "Bingo!" ?
