Funny...those to whom a bloodthirsty ferocity and combativeness comes naturally can't seem to find respect for those to whom it doesn't...and vice versa! You are both disgusted with one another's lack of good sense, decency, humanity, and responsibility.

Why don't you both just let the other one be what he is with good grace?

People are different, but that doesn't necessarily mean that anyone is WRONG...in an ultimate sense.

We all have free will. Is it any wonder that different people choose to use it differently?

There is a time and place for everything, guns included, I suspect. I don't own one at this time. It hasn't made a rat's ass of difference in my life, but it might have under different circumstances...in which case I might have owned a gun...or not...who knows?

I've already died any number of times. More than I can count or imagine. Why get all bent out of shape over the possibility of it happening once more? It's gonna happen eventually anyway, whether or not I own a gun. Don't sweat it, cos death may not be so bad as you think.

Chew on that.
