Knowledgeable about other things, eh? I don’t think you, in particular, want to make inferences about life outside the internet for people, based on this topic. Or others hereI understand that you don't like guns and would prefer them to cease to exist. I'm actually trying to do you a favor by respectfully pointing out just how staggeringly ignorant and uninformed you sound. Because you do sound every bit as clueless as the example offered by Mr. White. Don't you think you should educate yourself—even just marginally—on a subject where you are advocating sweeping legal changes? And if you are perfectly willing to speak out of ignorance, why should anyone believe anything you say on any other subject? Are we supposed to believe you are ignorant about this but knowledgeable about other things?the truth is that i of course don't respect firearms. i have a lot of ways i could expand on that, but they would come off as personal attacks, which isn't helpful. but what this means is that in your dog scenario, i'm banning all kinds of cute puppies as well at pit bulls. because i don't believe the distinction is relevant. because i don't respect dog ownership. but i'm trying to figure out ways for you to keep your dog, even though he's an a**hole.
But to that point, I’ve heard tif and Freddy casually dismiss a registry because of broad thoughts about the security of information systems. They don’t know what they’re talking about on a detailed level. Whereas it is my profession of 15 years. Instead of quizzing them about SQL injection or 2 factor authentication I instead provided some high level insight.
And regarding my ignorance...I’ve proposed 2 things. A registry and a restriction on semi automatics. I dont think having these specific opinions requires the expertise you think it does.
