Ohhhh... I got a PM... and I GOTTA...

Bill D... if I say I am gone, you should leave me out of your posts.

You said... I see that gnu & I can look at exactly the same information and reach totally different opinions about what it means.

Not so. I have proferred arguements and you have ignored or twisted them. As far as you not understanding what I posted, that is not MY problem.

Bill D said... My contention is that if acquiring guns is legal, MORE potential criminal can get guns...legally or illegally.... and will feel the odds are in their favor, since most folks, gun owners or`not, will NOT be ready enough to stop him.

I say, if it is legal and regulated and the police and courts do their jobs, criminals CANNOT get guns. As far as... will feel the odds are in their favor, since most folks, gun owners or`not, will NOT be ready enough to stop him... THAT IS THE POINT OF ALLOWING SELF DEFENSE.

Right... I cannot continue to argue. So, please, Bill D, do not use my abscence from this thread in vain again. It detracts from your credibility.

I enjoy your posts and your humour Bill D, but I must take leave if you will allow. Please do not address me or my posts in this thread anymore. Thank you in advance.
