Reply #78: They don't have to justify it to you, simple as that. I know that's hard to accept.... [View All]

...given your purported expertise on what is and isn't acceptable or rational.


I am going to say this to you as gently as possible:

You don't know as much about guns as you claim you do.

You don't know as much about gun owners as you claim you do.

You don't know as much about your fellow DUers as you claim you do.

You don't seem to know anything about self-defense law, as you have yet to cite a single one, or give a link to

an online discussion of same.


You don't seem to know much about self-defense, as you have not cited even an advocate of unarmed self-defense

(of which there are several good ones).


You have offered up several amateur diagnoses of mental illness amongst people that you disagree with, apparently

on the singular grounds of their choice of self-defense tools, without any evidence of any qualifications whatsoever.

on your part. All in violation of DU rules, to boot.


In conclusion, I'd suggest a search of DU for the term "Paisley Syndrome", or a general search for "Dunning Kruger effect"
