As I sat eating supper and pondering what I and others who disagree with me have posted here, I had this thought, which I would have worked into the above, had I gone slower..
    Logic is a funny thing...the internal logic of your argument can be perfect, but your conclusion can totally wrong or distorted depending on the premises you start with. In the same way, you can be absolutely RIGHT...for the wrong or illogical reasons. In most debates in forums like this, little attention is given by the participants to all those picky distinctions....but we all DO enter most discussions with pre-conceived ideas of what the answer ought to be...and I am as guilty as the next guy. My only claim is that with 127 hours of **Philosophy** strung thru my brain cells, I do try to stay aware of my own prejudices and apply a few filters when I try to enter discussion of substance. And in issues like **gun control**, there is no real way to show that one side or the other is right...except after the fact, and after trying it BOTH ways...and we know how unlikely it is that either side will agree to one of them double-blind experiments on this little polarizing issue, hmmm?      ;.)
