    as an attorney, I tell people that if you write an ambiguous contractual document, the ambiguity is construed against the author. You have spent a lot of time engaged in a passive-aggressive attack on gun ownership while refusing to come out and really state a position. so your reticence to state your position clearly is construed against you. and when you admit you don't own guns, and really don't care but are constantly here, ineffectually complaining about pro gun posts, we sort of write you off as being a contrarian or trying to troll pro gun posters for reasons that aren't based on an HONEST belief that gun ownership is a detriment but rather because you have some sort of issue with pro gun posters that transcends their ownership of firearms

    Unfortunately all this post achieved was belittling the legal profession in America.

    Excellent! That's what I prefer so that's a great solution! Give my opinion, which is all I want to do anyhow without be challenged over it, so I'm glad there are posters like you who take your position concerning me. :)

    Well Counselor, it's certainly a good thing that we are not in court of law isn't it?

    How are you in any position to make such a claim?

    do you think your evasive posting stye and actions of failing to state a position and defend it serves your agenda well?

    Unlike you I let my opinions speak for themselves instead of trying to drop some real life credibility to save my floundering lines of logic.

    how is that working out for you? you're a foreigner who doesn't like our second amendment rights. we don't care. we are amused at SUBJECTS who rage against free men having the right to be armed.

    It's not evasive, you obviously find it to be an irritant that I'm not saying what you'd hope I'd be saying; remember what I said earlier, I'm going to give my viewpoint whether or not you or anyone else here agrees or disagrees with me. That's just the way it is. It's not personal.

    as I noted, a passive aggressive attempt to oppose gun owners for reasons that have nothing to do with guns. I guess given the thrashing those who come out and admit they want to ban guns get, stealth mode is a better choice for the timid

    Where have I raged against your right to be armed in your particular state/country?

    I happily argue for the merits of a gun free society, how you (and only you) have managed to interpret said argument as a rage against your rights is one of your own "special" talents.

    In the last few days you have managed to:-
    - Questions why another poster wasn't seeking the same popularity you so crave on this forum? (you also avoided responding to why we should all be posting to seek other peoples approval, instead of putting forward our opinions)
    - Tried to drop being an attorney in a vain attempt to garner more credibility.
    - Referred to me as a "foreigner" when quite frankly, I am sitting at a computer in my country.
    - Spoken for all americans with your use of the term "we", when I am sure there are many that would rather you speak for yourself and not intermingle them in your delusions of grandeur.
    - Referred to me as a subject, in a derogatory manner.

    That is only some of the posts I have read. In any event, keep up the good work, you sound like a stand up guy.:applause:

    I have plenty of credibility on gun issues. How about you?

    Is your self praise trying to cover your insecurities or are you just displaying your arrogance?

    My credibility is what it is.

    I am never evasive about where I stand on issues. I don't engage in obfuscation, passive-aggressive timidity, or refuse to answer straightforward questions. I also know gun topics inside and out-a knowledge that comes from having been a world class shooter, an attorney representing gun makers, gun dealers, gun associations, and then working for the DOJ. I tire of the evasive anti gun nonsense I see from posters whose main issue is the politics of gun owners and the NRA-rather than having a bona-fide argument against gun ownership

    The problem is the Anti Gun Clack does not make their case from a position of expertise.
    They no wealth of knowledge at their disposal.

    If asked, I am a certified firearms instuctor with teaching experience, LE experience etc.....
    Gunsmithing, building guns,
    Having defended myself successfully many times,
    Can or do any of the Anti Gun people here present such credentials ?

    No, because anyone that represents Anti Gun views has no such relevant experience, and can still be or remain,
    Anti Gun.

    It's fear and loathing vs power of knowledge

    You know Australia is not a gun-free society -- right?
    That being the case, how would you, personally, know about said merits?

    Like where? Would you happily argue for what it would take to get and keep the US as a gun free society?

    "I happily argue for the merits of a gun free society,"


    So educate me on the merits of "a gun free society".......

    Lets say I am minding my own business, have dinner and a drinky, and am walking home, and three Toughs decide to Esmash me for whatever reason, and I have no gun to defend myself and get beaten very badly and spend days in Hospital, pissing blood, is this one of the myriad of virtues of a "gun free society" ???

    Or how better it would be, if after they attack me, I pull out a small revolver and hold the Toughs for the Police so they might think twice about beating up someone else ?

    Which scenario has greater virtue ?

    According to the antis, the following...

    As a victim, you support the narrative and the cause. You are supposed to sacrifice yourself for the greater cause don't you know?

    Assuming one could actually go about achieving a society that is totally devoid of firearms, pray tell how would they go about ensuring it remained that way?
