The fact of that matter is that everyone, including myself, has an opinion, and nobody wants to give any ground.
Actually, as I wrote, I would like to be convinced. But I havn't seen convincing arguments so far. The only pro-gun arguments have been "if bad guys have guns, good guys must have guns", which is no argument for allowing them. I showed scientific research that it doesn't even work.
But let's be honest. If one of us gets convinced that the other person is right, it won't change anything. It's not like the lawmakers pay any attention to the Dink Network.
This has gone from debate to argument, and thus isn't a fun discussion anymore. (At least, not for me.)
That is the best argument possible for stopping the discussion. I'm sorry for making things less fun for you; that was never my intention. If TheRainmaker (or anyone else) wants to continue, please ignore us.
And even though it wasn't fun for you in the end, I still thank you for participating; I liked it.
