Thread:Comments:Gun background checks a no-go in US Senate/The mission of the U.S. government is not to keep the people SAFE; it is to keep them FREE/reply (12)

Hello, Laura Hale. I responded to your request for an apology that you posted on my talk page. For about a week, my talk page was being vandalized in a way that made it impossible for us to converse; the vandal kept deleting all of the content and then it would reappear. Your request is off topic here and is defamatory. Please discuss it with me on my talk page, which appears to be stable now.

Regarding my post here, it contains no argument. It merely outlines my view of the issue by listing my conclusion and my main assumptions. Such a list can hardly be called deceptive. You can easily see my assuptions. If you think that one or more of them are wrong, you can easily say so. If you think that my conclusion would not necessarily, or ever, follow from my assumptions, you can easily say so.

I have not, and do not intend to, argue with anyone here. My desire is for wholesome connection, for friendly conversation. Let us focus on whatever core values and ideals we embrace in common.
