   @lmrocha @freemo Voight-Kampff test, that's interesting (and a great scene.) As I recall the test was to provoke an emotional reaction to see if the subject had human-style emotions.

   Anti-gunners, and other types of prohibitionists, often try to drive the argument toward emotion and away from logic and reasoned debate. And they HATE it when they run into someone who cannot be moved to emotion, and just keeps arguing the logic.

     @mike805 @freemo the argument for uncontrolled guns access is not logical. It comes from some metaphysical belief in "God given rights” or from "that's what the founding fathers wanted." It is not based on any logical induction from real evidence. You guys claim guns reduce violent crime, but evidence shows exactly the opposite. This is not logic, it's belief. My take is that you have drunk so much Kool aid that you cannot distinguish belief from evidence and also lost empathy for others, even kids in school.
