"I really don't want to hear anything"
That could be a signature. 
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

I can appriciate your frustration but you really need to up your game from making your primary point either a misreading (at best) or a outright misrepresentation (at worst) of what I wrote.
Yes. Not a day goes by that I don't thank my lucky stars that you are here on earth to indoctrinate me on the constitution as interpreted by NRA talking points.
All I can do in appreciation is offer you a simple (if not heartfelt) "thank you".

Re: Guns and the Two Americas
I estimate that my IQ has increased 3-5 % just by being exposed to Jeer's turgid prose.
Of course 26% of all statistics are just made up.

Re: Guns and the Two Americas
Not really a surprising answer from you.
Absolutely correct!
It was my typical through explanation of my position in response to a statement / question for another poster.
I supported my positions with real stats -that to me- show the system is broken and I assigned a percentage that would be realized if that breakdown were remidied.
It was my typical full and complete answer written with the full knowledge that neither the person I was posting to or anyone else here will have the intellectual integrity or respect for their own positions to reply in kind with specific points or disputes or to defend themselves. As I said, "If anyone wishes to challenge anything I’ve said here go right ahead, I'll cite the DOJ/BJS for any stat you want."
As if anyone here would actually pull out a specific stat and challenge it . . . Making hit-n-run snide comments while whining about being talked down to is so much easier.
Only seeing Christ riding sidesaddle on a rainbow farting unicorn would be more surprising than reading a real reply from anyone on this board.
BTW, my statement had NOTHING to do with controlling people, but that of an inanimate object to make it safer for humanity.
What??? You can’t be serious; controlling what people have access to is controlling people.
I guess to you banning books is just the control of an inanimate object huh?

My reply above had noting to do with Constitutional meaning or interpretation . . . It was focused on your poor reading comprehension and you basing your entire argument on the claim I said something I didn't say.
You certainly do have alot to learn about the Constitution but your mistake here could have been about virtually anything.

Re: Guns and the Two Americas
So much anger,,,,
In the old days I might have deleted the above post. But I won't delete it.
Apparently some people here want to see such stuff.
And then complain about it.
Go figure.

I am sincerely sorry for my obvious inability to comprehend your clearly stated premise.
I also apologize for my ignorance about the constitution.
I am humbled by your superior knowledge and ability to clearly define your totally documented and valid positions on constitutional issues.
You are always right and my opinion is of no significance, because opposing your views are always wrong.

All I ask is that if you are going to challenge me, attack what I said, not a position you have invented for me.
I also apologize for my ignorance about the constitution.
Ignorance can be corrected. The purposeful maintenance of incorrect positions is to be criticized and taken apart whenever and wherever encountered.
You are always right and my opinion is of no significance, because opposing your views are always wrong.
It is my position that any opinions offered for public consumption on a debate forum are asking to be challenged. Telling you you are wrong on a point is not demonstrating I think your opinion has no significane. The ultimate, final and definitive verdict that your opinion has no significance is when it is totally ignored.
The only opinions that should be considered of no significance are those steadfastly maintained in the face of oppositional proofs and those which the person professing them absolutely refuses to defend. I fully admit to possessing particular disdain for the latter . . . especially if the person refusing to defend the incorrect opinion was, up to then, particularly vocal and obnoxiously repetitive in their statement of the opinion. I have zero respect for such an expert debater and show them none.
You can cry that you are a victim all you want but all I ask for is (mostly) civil, reasoned defense of your opinions equal to the vigor you share them.
