I had a pretty lengthy discussion with several people shortly after the Newtown shooting. Most of them were vehemently anti gun. Not a single one had ever even held a gun. I approached the conversation trying to discuss real solutions that might have a chance of working. When they brought up banning guns, in every instance, I told them from my experience why what they were proposing was not a real solution to the problem, and I backed it all up with statistics. I got nowhere at all! Finally, one of them said I was just spouting NRA garbage and said that where guns are, murder and mayhem follow, so they need to be banned. In other words "guns=bad," just where they started out. It is really a frustrating experience trying to have a logical discussion based on facts when you are the only one in the room that cares what the facts are!
