You are all aware of these anti-gun zealots who ask why you need a gun when we have a police force. We all answer that 911 is 3 minutes away but my gun is right here or something of that manner. Or the folks who come over your house and ask do you have a gun in the house? You answer “yes.” Then they say “Is it loaded?” Again you answer “Yes.” Then they ask, “I hope you’re not planning on shooting anyone?” Finally, quite disgusted you say, “I have a damned fire extinguisher but I’m not planning on burning my house down.” At which point you tell them to go home. You know those folks?
Well last week I was at a very formal dinner party and at the table was one of those guys and he was on the verge of harassing me on the gun control subject despite my very valid and verifiable argument (see Glenn Beck’s Arguing with Idiots) when I had an epiphany. I looked him square in the eye and said, “I’ll make you a deal, if you put a sign in front of your house for one year that says, ‘THE PEOPLE IN THIS HOUSE ARE UNARMEDAND CAN’T DEFEND THEMSELVES’ and if you do not get robbed or murdered I’ll take every gun I own and melt them down with a torch. I was shocked when he said, “NO!” Then I laughed. So you can see, you can argue with an idiot, AND WIN! You are all free to use the same argument when you run into one of those morons.
