[QUOTE="bball, post: 1496662, member: 23752"] Lack of education appears to be a common factor amongst anti gun folks. I deal with the same thing with the gals i work with. Regurgitate what was spewed on news or facebook, then when you investigage further, and educate them, they typically arent quite so anti gun. Sound bites that sway the minds of millions. I have had the tool discussion often. When did a firearm cease being a tool and become exclusively a weapon of destruction? A tool that fed and protected folks for centuries. By protect, I mean from wild animals as well as human predators. It was simply a valuable tool used by many a settler and still is today by many a rancher or farmer. No different then a knife, a 3 lb baby sledge, a screwdriver or any other tool that can quickly and easily be 'converted' to a weapon. The point being, it's not the tool that's the issue. It's the intent of the individual using the tool that determines it's purpose. Why are we not asking the correct questions? For example, what has happened to our youth? Misinformation abounds. Studies and research are often agenda driven or manipulated to achieve desired results.
