Gun nuts win

After following this thread for a couple days, I think I’ll go buy a gun.  I don’t own one, but I can see where the threats to liberty are.  And because of the tone and contempt and self-righteous scorn for gun owners, manipulation of facts, and general Jack Chick style approach to the issue, against most (not all, but most) of the gun owners who have tried to appeal to facts, call bad (even sinful) arguments for what they are, but also try to demonstrate why some solutions might not be good, I’ll give it to the gun owners.  It’s this style, increasingly popular in some quarters of the Catholic Blogosphere, that has me concerned.  For the record again, I don’t own a gun.  But I don’t think dropping inaccurate stats, followed by accusations that anyone disagreeing is a gun nut, stupid, doesn’t care about dead innocents (especially if the innocents are dark skinned since they’re likely racists, too), is the best way to represent the Catholic Faith.  If it is, then that says more about the Catholic Faith now than we might care to admit.
