No, there haven't been any intelligent pro-gun arguments, because there aren't many, and people with enough intelligence to make them don't post here. I have some very smart friends who are gun-owners, and who are very worried that the backlash against Newtown might see their rights to own small arms impinged, and I think they're right to worry that an inappropriate knee-jerk solution might make it into the light. Actually, it's from these people that I've heard the broadest arguments in terms of the American wild-west culture of violence needing changing. I've never heard such a conversation go on between them and the more liberal people I know including myself - I'm actually more hopeful than I thought I was that - certainly within the society I keep - there isn't just a furor, entrenched positions and mud-slinging that gradually fades away, like every other time a serious issue needs tackling in America.
- YES there has. You just dont agree with them so you're not understanding their point.CygnusZero4
- No, it's that I do understand them, and they don't understand the counter-arguments.I... not stupid. Dude.mikotondria3
