    I see… so this would be a person who is so extremely stupid that they would attack someone with a stun gun on their belt, but not a regular gun.

    You seriously still can’t comprehend why someone would more likely attack someone with a less than lethal weapon than someone with a lethal weapon?

    That doesn’t sound especially plausible.

    Can you explain why?

    And, again, I never said they were a deterrent, you did.

    You said a stun gun is a deterrent. You also claimed they are the same level of deterrent as a gun.

    I never made a claim that they were a deterrent. I was merely responding to your claim that they were.

    And that’s where the communication breaks down, I think. My point is not that guns are an effective deterrent, but I was explaining that from the perspective of the queers that live among bigots, they would only open-carry if they think that doing so would reduce the risk of being attacked. You then provided an alternative method of carrying a stun gun. Is it wrong to assume that you were claiming stun guns are an effective deterrent, then?

      Okay, you’re clearly not actually reading my comments since I’ve said multiple times now that I am not claiming that either are deterrents, so I’m just going to end this conversation. If you’re not going to read my comments, there’s no point in continuing.
