Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostYou are, by implication, when you downplay other methods people frequently use to commit suicide. The high rate of non-gun suicides in other countries was pointed out, and your response was "Imagine how much worse it would be if they used guns!" It seems you really don't care about suicide rates, you just want to vilify guns.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI think he allowed the conversation to morph into something else, and is alleging that, whatever "that" is. Guns are incredibly effective for killing - there, I said it. And never said or implied otherwise.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI think you get that kind of impression because that's what you're looking for. You are entitled to be wrong.
Can I be completely honest? It bothers me when somebody writes a thought out post and you respond with nothing but "wow". It strikes me as very dismissive and implying that the other person's post is so stupid and obviously wrong that they don't deserve a response. This has actually bothered me for awhile."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
