Question for 240 or Bust

[The Coach]

I've seen you claim to be a utilitarian.

I know you are a gun owner.

Countries with strict gun laws have less murders per capita than USA (Sweden had cerca 250 murders last year on a 9 million population).

As you are a utilitarian, I suppose you support strict gun control.

If not, please give me your argument why not to.

i'm not a util.

but the people who run countries are.

i don't like it, but i accept the reality of it.

Ok.

You're not a utilitarian.

Then, are you a libertarian?

I'm a libertarian.

I would shoot ten jihadists while my popcorn cooked, then drink a soda while sending ten thousand welfare mothers to work or to the street.  I'm also much more supportive of a strong investigative and justice system, unlike you.

Or are you a moderate republican?

I am a moderate republican.  I voted for Bush twice and even converted some dems.  Remember when he ran on the conservative, isolationist platform, talking "we're not about nation building".

I'm a moderate repub who likes many of the liberatarian beliefs... but I kinda support some of the goals of the neotaint agenda.  I think.
