>>This is a fallacy. You are stating that because you are personally capable of being provoked to the point where you would use a weapon against a neighbor for noise, so would everyone else.

>>I can safely say that I would not, and have not, and I was provoked to the point you cannot imagine and I had a gun and it never even came out of locked storage. Not everyone deals with stress the same and some people have alittle more experience dealing with stress under extreme conditions. Some people have witnessed the damage guns do in person as well and it is not something they would grab in anger.

>Same here. I've owned guns since I was a teenager, and have a nice selection if ever needed, but I haven't pointed one at ANYONE yet.

I have worn a pistol every day for the past 33 years. I have pulled my piston on thousands of people. During my time as the "po po", I was shot at 7 different times. I have never fired at anyone. You think getting shot at doesn't, shall we say, perturb you? I could not return fire because there were other people in the way, or else the perp had run away. Sounds like somebody needs Anger Management!<g>
