Hive account@davidpakman, we haven't fully fleshed out what Hive account@luiggih means by that statement.

If we automatically assume that she means "everyone should have a gun just to have a gun", then we're not taking the time to really understand the nuances of what she means by "Guns are neccesary. Imagine you go to Bronx with no gun... you've got not a chance to survive if anything goes wrong."

I think it's better to start a dialogue when general statements are made, because they help us (as well as them) flesh out what their core beliefs are on the subject.

This leads to understanding, which can lead to harmony and solutions.
