Duane Quates is the "only one" who fully understands the issue

Gun control is neither anti-American nor unconstitutional, and in most cases, it is actually beneficial to both our economy and the operation of a free society. Anyone who would spout such drivel as Garlock does not fully understand the issue.

This coming from the guy who also said:

"Perhaps Garlock would prefer to live in a country where his is the only viewpoint that counts."

Hmm. So let's see here. "You're an idiot if you have an opinion different than mine, and your an idiot if you don't respect other peoples' opinions." Gotcha.

But let's address the issue. Mr. Quates says gun control is good and that it's not unconstitutional. Let's examine the facts he gives to support his claim:

Well, that was easy. I guess we should just believe him. After all, he is an "anthropology graduate student" and he has "been trained with firearms, and [has] been around them all [his] life." I guess that qualifies him to tell other people that gun control is good and anyone who disagrees doesn't "fully understand the issue" like he does.

Maybe we'd "fully understand the issue" if you'd... I don't know... talk about the issue. But that would require thought and research which could potentially lead him away from his current position. We can't have that now can we, Duane.

I'd like to ask Duane just one question...

Can you demonstrate just one time, one place, throughout all of human history, where restricting the access of handheld weapons to the average person made them safer?

You too can ask him: quatesed@msu.edu
