LMAO...where is the rest of my post?
Meh...today in Psychology class, we had to do an exercise that offended people, but we had to defend our decision with out causing too much commotion. The teacher said "are you for, against lowering the drinking age to 18" half the class went this way, the other half went that way. Then the next question. "Are you for, or against the Second Amendment?
In a class of 32 people, I was the only person who went the the "agree with" side of the room. I was able to comeback with a reasonable response to every point of their argument.
"They kill"
-"They save lives too"
"Well, in the wrong hands they're dangerous"
-"That's why the lot of us own guns"
"Why do you the the term "A loaded gun" only implicated bad things?"
-"I don't know, I carry a loaded gun every day and am perfectly safe"
Then the opposer changed her tactics, and through a scenario at me. Said something like "Somebody breaks into your house, he has a knife and you have a gun. You would shoot him wouldn't you?"
-"I'd hold him at gunpoint while the police came, if he's not directly threatening my life, then there's no need to shoot him"
Then I said "I got one for you, I'm coming over to your house tonight to brutally rape you, after I'm done. I give you a schedule of when I'll be back next, would you buy a gun to protect yourself" Then her boyfriend, who was on that side of the room just because she was said "I'd shoot you before you could leave"
I told him to get his ass on my side of the room.
Then the teacher ended the argument, and gave her personal opinion. "Guns were designed to do one thing, kill. They are good for nothing else, if abolishing them saved one life, then I would be all for it"
Then I got in an argument with her "Are you serious, I hunt(I don't hunt, but it helped my argument) with my guns more than I murder people, and there are more cases where guns saved lives rather than ending life."
Teacher called it a day...
So I'm thinking, I have this class again Friday, Tuesday, and Thursday next week, and so on. I'm going to where my NRA shirt that has the Second Amendment written on the back.
