Perna - like maybe he is trying to see exactly how much he can get away with? like pushing the envelope a little? I did say "you would have to have an extremely good argument for me to allow guns into my house" with a smirk and he got a little mad saying that I was telling him what he can and cannot do. So I said "so you have never flat out told me 'i will have a gun in my house'?" and he shut up lol because he has said that before.

Neither one of us has brought it up since the initial discussion. I think I'm going to do some investigation and try to find reliable sources with data showing people saved by guns vs. people killed by guns. Because I'm almost certain that it will be the opposite of what he thinks. Maybe then he'll listen.
