Perhaps I was too harsh.

you're a moron.
What makes you think I don't know how to fight with bare hands?
What makes you think you're so superior?
What makes you think I even have a gun?

You're one braincell has been so brainwashed by bad movies, fear, and prbably too many bad drugs to even get a clue how ridiculous you sound.

Next time someone breaks into your house with a gun, try fighting him/her with your bare hands.

It's a CHOICE man. You DON'T CARE< DON'T GET iT, and now you're calling me a pussie?

You don't even post your real name here 'braincell' (singular/lower-case)

Grow up.

I agree. I still do not appriciate the way you try to push your views.

Both sides are 'pushing their views'.
You don't have to contribute to the discourse if you don't like it.

At least I'm ALSO expressing my opinions - and posting other people's opinions and statistics as well. Sorry if people can't take it.

It's an important topic, but to just relegate yourself to calling me a coward or bitch boy, or some other so-called 'hate' speech is just ridiculous.

I appreciate that you don't agree, but don't lower yourself to some 'thug' talk. It's just not constructive.

Just so you know, whether or not I own a gun (and I may not, you'll never know)- doesn't mean that I don't support those that DO express their right to own one - just like I appreciate people expressing their right to discourse.

But calling me names or pigeonholing me in some false stereotype is redundant and doesn't really contribute anything. However, if someone calls me a pussy, then they'll get a counter- response from me.

huh ? how did this become about you all of a sudden ?

I am trying to tell braincell he is pushing his views rather poorly. I think he adds unnessecary drama to his post(s) to add "weight" to his argument.

the message I read from braincell was:
- dont be a coward
- dont fight with weapons
- dont use guns

Those are all really nice views. Then he adds drama so people start reacting to his post. Then he can counter because there are valid arguments hidden in his posts.

see.... he does have a point (sometimes). I dont want to make this about braincells... so FUCk GUNS.... but just trying to clarify since you seem to be adressing me Greg ?

It BECAME about me when the drama was pointed my way (or our way - but whatever).
I was addressing braincell.

But who cares anymore...

having an attitude of 'fuck guns' is all nice, and cozy, and satisfying, but narrow IMO. That's all.

Until EVERY human, government, celebrity, military, criminal, hunter, police, etc. disarms, then it's a moot argument.

I bet when a really good non-lethal weapon is developed, people will still demand deadly ones. They want to kill.

There already are 'non-lethal' weapons - sound canons and microwave deterrents. And, unfortunately more and more deaths due to tazers.

yeah, saw it. funny stuff.

Too bad the guy has to go to rally's with armed bodyguards.

Making it harder for average citizens to get guns (i.e. waiting 10 days for background check) doesn't keep a criminal from getting one through the black market, or some other back door.

It's a moot argument and Colbert points that out near the end of the interview.
