re: #37 Obdicut

I absolutely agree that the case is to be made about the guns in aggregate.

We basically agree.

That’s why talking about the aggregate is important, rather than saying there’s no such thing as responsible gun ownership.

What I’m saying is that there’s no such thing as a person that you can point to and say: “this is a responsible gun owner”. There are only past histories of responsible gun ownership, but these are not good predictors of future behavior. Anyone who owns a gun is a potential cause of a massacre.

Was Nancy Lanza a responsible gun owner? Maybe up until a few weeks ago she was. Now it’s a different story.
