No, your statement would have validity if I constantly made posts shitting on doctors, or entire threads dedicated to shitting on doctors.  I know some of it is done to bait me, because that's the type of dude you are.  But most of it is done because you genuinely don't like law enforcement.  Your protestations otherwise mean little in comparison to what you actually post on a regular basis.  As for your Jr. High level dig on the fact that I actually have a large social circle, one of my best friend's uncle actually owns a hospital, but I'm not personally acquainted with any medical doctors.  Having a lot of friends apparently confuses you.



Yeah, the fact that you can't name a policy immediately is rather telling.  As for the Dems having policies that "help people" the last four years have proved that to be laughably, and tragically, false.  I do see something positive here, you're at least acknowledging the fact that you're an ideological follower.  Maybe at some point you'll start branching out and thinking outside those boundaries.    Regardless, acknowledging you have a problem is the first step.




This is a terrible analogy, you're conflating yourself with the people who object to the existence of gay/trans people.  Didn't really think this one through, did you?



Leaving your property in a locked vehicle is a poor idea, but it's not criminal.  What is criminal is breaking in to said car to take that property.  This is the literal equivalent of blaming a woman for being raped because she was dressed provocatively.  The criminal would never have broken into your car if you hadn't tempted them, no? 


Then actually make an argument instead of fence sitting.


Indeed.  Criminalizing the victim of said crime, or potential crime, seems like adding injury to injury.  If you leave your front door unlocked, and are known to do so, should you be punished when someone burglarizes your home?  What if you own firearms?  

Yeah, my fault for trying to have a conversation.  All I get is attacks and insults.

One thing worth responding to is that *I* am not conflating myself with anyone.  I said people who open carried just to "protest" any threat of a gun law are the same people complaining about gay people or cross-dressers being in public and "forcing it down their throats".  So I'm half joking that people will just leave guns on their hoods to "protest".

I think you misread what I wrote.

On topic I think the idea behind the bill is reasonable but I don't know it is enforceable or going to do anything to help with the problem of gun violence.  So since I can't say for sure I will "stay on the fence" as you put it.  Fortunately (and this I know you will agree with) I am not in a position to have to make such decisions.  I can only offer my thoughts on it as was asked in the OP.
