You analogy's are very comical DUG although i'm not sure I understand the one about the super bright lights, I don't know how candle light rating compare to lumens but I carry a 100 lumen flashlight and would actually like to buy that 300 lumen headlamp =P, whether you shine that massive light in the eyes of those that pass you is a whole different thing lol.

The Ipod one is not the same also, it's based on face value, the reasons why it bothers them and is rude is quite simple, why a gun is bothersome I think we have already shown to be a far more complex matter, one which we cannot resolve between us.

If fired up then simple science dictates they cannot harm you, an object can only fall so fast.

I'm sorry that after all our discussion I have failed to change your mind about those sorts of assumptions.

I'm now noting back to when I said I gave up on debating anything with people on forums because after countless hours you get no where. crazy

There are a LOT of things that are perfectly legal that most folks don't do simply out respect for others


Very true but I cannot think of one that holds the same implications that this example does.

Since Mike mentioned the NRA I need to state I do not support the NRA at all, they have been completely taken over by government influences and work more often to help create more gun control laws.
