Comments on: Reasons to Support Gun Control http://www.learnaboutguns.com/2008/06/01/reasons-to-support-gun-control/ Firearm information and politics from a gun rights perspective, with an emphasis on self defense rights. Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:09:24 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Stephanie http://www.learnaboutguns.com/2008/06/01/reasons-to-support-gun-control/comment-page-1/#comment-6039 Stephanie Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:38:58 +0000 http://www.learnaboutguns.com/?p=148#comment-6039 It's a coincidence that during the past few weeks I've been researching the percentage of shootings that have occurred in "gun-free" zones to build my case against idiotic gun control. Then the shootings at FT Hood, TX, happened yesterday. That's exactly why the only gun-free zones for me are when I have to go through metal detectors, have my bags inspected or am in settings where alcohol is served. I'll leave it at that. The gunman didn’t “snap” – it was a downward spiral that was apparent for at least 6 months but his supervisors didn’t do anything about most likely because of fear of reprisal. It’s also a coincidence that MAJ Hasan graduated from Virginia Tech, site of the most deadly shooting in U.S. history. I'd prefer a world where everyone's armed. Then at least potential victims have a fighting chance. I'd either prefer that or a world without violence. Hopefully the pro-gun control citizens of the world will be able to remove all violence as soon as possible. I love your wit and your web site. Keep up the good work.

My goal in this post was to display a bit of (slightly inflammatory) humor, for those who arrive here searching for reasons to support gun control. The rest of this site (Nearly 700 posts as I write this comment) are designed to be hyperbole free :) Jeff,

When then reader reads then, they will think "I am not!!!" It is a bit of hyperbole, which is counter productive. I don't know how to solve cognitive dissonance or reactance towards ideas.
