Subject: RE: IT WAS THE GUNS-
If you find it necessary to characterize people who disagree with you as "morons," just by virtue of the fact that they disagree with you, then there may be some element of reasonableness in your hoplophobia. A person who can't argue a societal issue without getting into the use of insulting terms for people who take the opposite position may not have his/her behavior under primarily intellectual, rather than emotional, control, and may, therefore, have no business owning or possessing firearms, or anything sharp, or baseball bats, for that matter. But why generalize to people in general?

(I realize it's wrong to get personal in a negative way on this list, but hey, I'm a moron, I can't be blamed.)
