My responses:
No, but I do defend my right to keep and bear arms pretty much always.
No, but I do see it come up in the discussions afterwards often enough to notice some correlation.
No, but I do make purchases fairly steadily and regularly. If anything, I delay after a shooting spree (and the ensuing gun control debate) because I know that demand, and thus prices, often spike.
No, but I do certainly notice that the RKBA advocates are generally more knowledgeable and factual on the subject than the gun control advocates.
Sometimes, if their mistakes are serious enough to affect the discussion in some significant way, and very occasionally just to poke a little fun at the other side’s ignorance, if I’m in a particularly foul mood. Oftentimes I try to educate.
Not particularly, as I think there are generally better arguments to be made, but it’s probably come up a few times. And yes, I can name quite a few of them.
You acknowledged that the first paragraph was hyperbole, but the last paragraph was just shitty too. Fuck that guy, having his kid being in a school shooting couldn’t have happened to a more deserving asshole.
