Sometime ago, when I worked for Verio in Florida, a group of us technicians had taken a lung-fouling cigarette break on a Saturday afternoon. As we milled around taking mostly bullshit, the topic came around to guns.
In general, most of them thought it a good idea to own at least one. Encouraged, I said I thought it was a good idea if everyone who could legally own one, did.
I must have said something either terribly uncouth or illogical or both, because a few glances were exchanged and someone piped up about extremism or somesuch. I attempted to explain (of course) but soon realized it was a lost cause, my Oxygen-starved brain just wouldn't engage and beside, they'd already made up their minds. It wasn't until today that I found a post explaining better than I ever could what I should have said. Thanks, Marko.
