I'm somewhat heartened that someone on TV will let you get a full sentence out without shouting you down. Your opponent in this instance is certainly a sad and unenlightened soul. Is there anyone on the pro gun control side who knows the first thing about the subject? Obviously, Piers Morgan, Solidad O'Brien, Don Lemon and Dianne Feinstein are dolts.
P.S. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PRESENTING A REASONABLE VIEW TO THE PUBLIC.
"You can argue all the facts you want, but let's not argue these facts."
John-- you are a candle of reason in the darkness. Invited to what is intended by TV anchors (although not Megyn Kelly) to be a combative interview in which the interviewer and the rest of the panel gang up on you, you remain as cool as a cucumber. And although you command the facts, you are never smug or glib about it, unlike your opponents. Kickin' it, Joe Friday style... "Just the facts, ma'am... just the facts."
I'm 2/3 the way through the newest edition of "More Guns, Less Crime," and enjoying every minute of it. Hoping this debate will cause a reprint of "The Bias Against Guns," as they seem to be going for a premium at Amazon.
