I can't get to the link over at GunPundit, so I'm going to have to base my perception on what Murdoc has posted. This is a comment about Open Carry in Michigan
bewise wrote: I think only police, FBI, CIA, and whoever has to deal with secret documents or big amount of money, should be armed, and no body else. The reason I say that is based on a personal experience in Europe. I could have killed someone who kept half of the money from my job that he liked a lot, but saying that he was very short in money. We had not made a written contract, so he was taking advantage of that. He owned me 8,500 Euros. Over the hot debate I could have sent him to meet with Saint Peter, and I would have spent the rest of my life in jail. I know that you will bring me thousands of counter arguments, but still, I will not be convinced.
I want to focus on two parts here. First
Over the hot debate I could have sent him to meet with Saint Peter, and I would have spent the rest of my life in jail.
This is nothing but tough guy, Internet chest puffing. It is generally difficult for humans to kill another human. There is an instinct in all of us that keeps us from doing this wantonly and it's based on survival. This is why we train soldiers, to overcome the natural aversion to killing our own kind. It's part of why we stress the enemy as being less than human, as being the 'other'.
Now, people can get angry enough to override their good judgment. That's why we have 'crimes of passion'. However, in most arguments, you may find yourself saying things you don't really mean, but to act upon actually murdering someone is beyond most people's ability. A gun doesn't change that equation.
If Mr. Tough Guy is serious about what he said, then he already belongs in jail as he is a danger to society at large.
Second part
I know that you will bring me thousands of counter arguments, but still, I will not be convinced.
He admits that people may be able to come up with overwhelming amounts of facts, but he has already decided to not listen to any of them and disregard any opinion that runs counter to his point.
Here is a 'man' who beats bases his desire to infringe on everyone's rights based on a lie he is well aware of and intentionally refuses to change his mind based on any facts that might be presented.
Let that sink in for a minute.
