One of one's gods... Ludwig Wittgenstein From the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus: 3.328 "If a sign is not necessary then it is meaningless. That is the meaning of Occam's Razor." (If everything in the symbolism works as though a sign had meaning, then it has meaning.) 4.04 "In the proposition there must be exactly as many things distinguishable as there are in the state of affairs, which it represents. They must both possess the same logical (mathematical) multiplicity (cf. Hertz's Mechanics, on Dynamic Models)." 5.47321 "Occam's Razor is, of course, not an arbitrary rule nor one justified by its practical success. It simply says that unnecessary elements in a symbolism mean nothing. Signs which serve one purpose are logically equivalent; signs which serve no purpose are logically meaningless." and on the related concept of "simplicity": 6.363 "The procedure of induction consists in accepting as true the simplest law that can be reconciled with our experiences." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor

I think that's a pretty wild-eyed view of things as they are. The notion that military-grade weapons of war should not be in the hands of private citizens seems to me rational & reasonable. To exaggerate that into a notion of confiscation of all guns of any type seems to me fairly silly.

Where on earth does that hysterical notion come from? Nothing discussed suggests such a thing.

Every one of these the ONLY way to live life:

Excellent. The gun lobby just; stupidly, challenged DJT to a mano-a-Mano standoff. He doesn't need their $$$. So what we are about to witness will be very interesting, I think. NRA members on Trump's plans for gun control: 'Every word of it was a betrayal' Trump embraced raising the age limit on purchasing certain weapons and confiscating people’s guns before going through due process https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/mar/01/trump-nra-gun-control-response-members-latest

P.S. Does Weak Sphincter almost sound like a brand of artisanal bourbon?

HAH!
