Could he have said "risk profile" any more?

Just imagine him saying 'why I am different than you' and it makes sense.

So a cartoonist weighs in about gun control.

If we had a real government – the kind that works – we would acknowledge that gun violence is not one big problem with one big solution. It is millions of people with different risk profiles voting their self-interest as they see it.

So stop acting like one side is stupid. Both sides of the gun issue are scared, and both have legitimate reasons to be that way. Neither side is “right.”

And???

That is pretty much spot on.

...in a general sort of way. Still a good take on the issue. :thumbsup:

If you are in favor of common-sense gun control laws, you might like my book. But that would be more coincidence than causation because the book doesn’t mention guns. I don’t even know why I brought it up.

I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting it. I need a laugh now and then, although it's the kind of illogical that often makes sense to me.

I don't even think of Scott Adams as "the guy who created Dilbert" anymore. I think of him as an experienced guy who sees through all the BS and can tell it like it is.

He doesn't even have to think about storylines, his fans send him stories and he adapts them to Dilbert. His words, not mine.

This article makes a lot of general assumptions that I don't think the 'PC' people would appreciate. On that note, I like it ! :innocent0

Sorry, I'm right, a percentage of his side are right (the percentage that think if my side are disarmed we'll be better victims) and a large part of his side are stupid (the part that thinks firearms are going to magically disappear at the stoke of a pen and we're all going to live in a happy foam rubber covered world).

Agreed...

As I read it, I couldn't help but feel the passive aggressiveness coming through. In then end, I sense that he would advocate for the so called 'common sense' gun laws.

Interesting article. I thought it was good. Of course, he mentions the gross over generalization, but it was a good majority generalization. Guns are a hobby. A serious and possibly dangerous hobby, but it's my hobby. In my mind it's not anymore dangerous hobbies like building furniture, racing...well anything, riding horses, base jumping, sky diving, or skiing.

I don't CCW in MD when I am not on my property and I don't hunt with firearms. I also refuse to live in fear. I am not scared of getting shot by a democrat and certainly don't feel a need to protect myself from them only. I do feel a need to protect myself and my family from people; any person that wishes me, my family, or my property harm.

I think we should start casting our ideas for gun laws (mostly repealing them) as "common sense". At least ours really would be.
