Because you're so tolerant, supportive of diversity and open to having all ideas on the table.

Shame on you indeed.

Concur.  Toronto sucks.


Thanks for demonstrating that you've completely run out of coherent arguments

You're wrong, of course. Unless you're a single issue voter, voting is a process of understanding what a candidate's issues and proposals are, and determining whether enough good or potential good outweighs the bad or potential bad (and there is always some bad). You see it happening all over this board vis a vis Trump.

So, for example, you see Conservatives on this board opting to support Trump even though he has previously espoused, and is currently espousing, Liberal positions, including support of gun control. Are they advocating gun control by supporting Trump? How about his Liberal, unfunded tax break? You tell me!

But did I hear you correctly, because I think I heard it again. You are saying that the only way to keep the right to carry is not to carry.  Isn't that not being able to? 

People who panic will panic over less than a rifle. Nothing is going to happen to them and they might relax the next time. They do not get a safe space if I want to carry a rifle.

The vast majority of firearm deaths occur to victims who know their assailants.  About half are suicides.  This is year in and year out, and has been the case for a least a decade. Moreover, the number of firearm fatalities has been around 30K/year for some time.  I've seen credible estimates of 300,000,000 firearms in America owned by 100,000,000.  Thus the rate at which firearms "go bad" is about 0.01%.

Given these facts I find it hard to get worked up over someone else's firearm ownership.  That said, should they change my outlook is likely to change as well.  And I won't be alone.
