Quote from: HurtfulTurkey on October 02, 2015, 06:18:45 PMThat's because, to a lot of liberals, it does mean that. Many republicans are strongly in favor or increasing restrictions on criminals or the mentally ill, more strict rules for concealed carry, etc. Psychopaths don't wear labels, unless you plan on screening out anyone who has ever been diagnosed with depression or been on Prozac, plenty are going to get through.

It fails to factor in other nuances.The vast majority of people don't have military grade training, and not everyone can handle stressful combat situations competently. This deterrence meme, as always, starts with the presupposition that absolutely nothing can go wrong when shit hits the fan because having a gun automatically makes you the T-800 capable of landing military precision shots.you're confusing deterrence with defense.Deterrence works like this.I have a gun.You have a gun too.Because we are both capable of inflicting tremendous damage on each other, it is in neither of our interests to act aggressively.
