Well, your exercising of a right requires a good outcome , correct?
If you speak and it hurts someone's feelings then you should not be able to speak it.
If you leave where you are at then your leaving would hurt the economy of the place you are at; can't have that, so you must stay where you are.
But no, rights are not contingent on favorable outcomes. Once one realizes that then you know the correct response to any "gun report" or "gun study". It does not matter.
Why would exercising a right require a good outcome?
It is a right.
His study was not accurate was the point being made here I believe.
My point is to stop expending energy in examining such studies...good or bad. It does not matter.
If one wanted to discredit the person, that's fine I guess. But I never cared much for studies that are used to support or not support our RKBA.
It turns the argument upside down. If it does not matter then its an irrelevant point.
Assume that our RKBA causes 1000 school shootings a day. Would this change our RKBA, at all? No.
If you want to chase bad studies and reports related to rights, you'll be spending a lot of time and wasting the time.
What are you expecting ? That when a person who is talking to one of us brings up the study by an anti-gunner that we can say "that study has been debunked" .. it won't change the other person's mind and they may just cite another study or they'll ask you for proof that the study was wrong.
Its a game. I don't play it.
Interesting point. I hadn't considered it that way.
