However as it stands there is no use continuing to argue logic against emotion, because emotion will always win. Not because it is the better way, but for no better reason than people viewing issues through emotion ignore facts and evidence.
You are entitled to your opinion and welcome to post it. However, if you are going to post such inflammatory statements at least have the wherewithall to back them up and logically support them.
[aside] I do apologize if anyone takes offense to my remarks. Quitting smoking leaves me with little humor and less patience. Mods please take my post off if you feel it is not proper/poorly executed.

SuperMidget, you keep having digs at posters about the flimsyness of thier arguments. Politics is about making decisions based on ethics, logic and statistics. And yes, there is a place for emotion within this sphere. What do you think about the statistic that a child in the home is 500 times more likely to be shot with a firearm owned by the household rather than that of an intruder? The US has a massive problem with firearms unlike any other developed nation on this planet. Close to 40,000 Americans die each year from gunfire. This is totally amazing and unique. People have every right to feel emotional about this.
