Are opposing opinions scary to you? Do you need a safe space?
Buddy, you're the one all about the safe space in your domicile with your guns. TF i care about your trolling, you're in a thread about domestic abuse, and have no grasp on the statistics I presented to counter your high and mighty opinion.
Lol, dropping a link in a post does not constitute an argument or a counter to my “high and mighty opinion”. That is a citation.
If you can’t form a coherent argument on your own thats fine, but don’t delude yourself into thinking dropping a link is a substitute.
To be honest I'm truly bored with this discussion. The argument you've given boils down to meaningless pedantry that critiiques ones' presentation over facts, contained in the link I found quickly, with which to dispel the illiterate.
Are you still making a big deal of the link you posted?
Not one bit. This isn't rocket science, you wanna know something look it up son. Or else I'll school ya. Tootles
Before you go, I do want to apologize. I re-read your post and realized I did miss a good point you made. For that I am sorry.
“Buddy, you're the one all about the safe space in your domicile with your guns. “
I’m glad that you recognize on some level that firearms empower individuals to take agency for their own safety and protection. I realize this thought is but a small seed but hopefully it will grow in time.
But once again, you pour over my words with such vigor. Cry into your secure little end of the void.
No I’m just happy to see the seed is planted. I’ve done my part for 2A today.
