When reading, please keep in mind that Scott Adams has a history of writing things a certain way just so he can study the reaction.

Also keep in mind that he's a cartoonist.

That said, I think he has an interesting viewpoint.

“So it seems to me that gun control can’t be solved because Democrats are using guns to kill each other – and want it to stop – whereas Republicans are using guns to defend against Democrats. Psychologically, those are different risk profiles.”


...and then there’s MY risk profile: I’m Jewish, and I’m only here in the US of A because my paternal grandfather ran away from the Communists, who took everything that HIS father ever worked for. So, my risk profile is that I don’t give a crap what party (or none) someone belongs to, what they call themselves, why they want my (legally acquired and owned) guns, or what social ills they allegedly wish to correct: I AM NEVER GOING TO GIVE UP MY GUNS! PERIOD.

As the saying goes, you can pry them from my cold, dead fingers (and be careful not to trip on all of the expended brass surrounding my body). Oh, but wait, someone in my family will be taking them from me in that circumstance, and continuing to use them. Here’s some advice: don’t come for them, you won’t like the result.

< "So stop acting like one side is stupid. Both sides of the gun issue are scared, and both have legitimate reasons to be that way. Neither side is “right.”

I'm not scared and my 2nd Amendment right is my right. My right to defend myself from bad people, from tyrant's, to use for sport,etc...our founding fathers didn't say "shall not be infringed" for nothing. They and their ancestors lived under tyrant rule for centuries. They said what they meant. And it was for a reason. Technology may change but the nature of man and the evil that dwells in their heart will never change. They understood that. Thats's good enough for me.

—he might also have noted that as black males commit murder at a rate 11 times higher per capita than whites, there is somewhat of a “racial” factor in here somewhere-—

*I endorsed Clinton for president for my personal safety. I write about Trump’s powers of persuasion and it is not safe to live in California if people think you support Trump in any way.

Truth in humor, got to love it.

In other words, capitalism works if people are willing to work, but if they are immature and unwilling,mthen they need to get in a military like structure of socialism.

Same thing with guns. Safety is possible with free gun ownership so long people willingly carry responsibly. If that goes out the window, then they do not get the spread out protection and need police presence everywhere.

The author fails to see that democrats want socialism and gun control, and they will keep insisting on making people lazy and irresponsible to that end.

If democrats suffer from existence of guns, it is of their own doing and their objective: the victim politics rules.

Watch out Scott, even though you self identify as a liberal the wicked witch of the north (Chicago) has been rumored to even strike down some of her best friends during fits of anger.
