Yes, you are right. Thought about what I was saying after and it was a knee jerk reaction. I honestly think I'm one of the least smart people on voat.

I'm sure there are goats that do not like the hobby aspect of guns, which is what I think you are referring to. But I also believe (at least for myself) that understanding the importance of what they represent leads goats to like and respect them for that reason alone.

You are not stupid, your just different in methods of perspective. You see it from your point of view and lack the empathy because you likely never seen it any other way. It's not wrong or right....it just is.

I am with you in that I feel it is important and not a right as much as it is a duty of all Americans to have the means of defense from an occupational force, be that foreign or domestic.

However......that is my belief and not how it is. I can't force them....anymore than I would allow them to force me to their will... difference is that I have the means to enact my will, and they don't....you want to be the real American?

Listen to their words and show them you have reasoning. Take them to a range as I have found many never fired a gun.....they only know what they have been told, and not experienced.

Just try it....you might make a new friend.
