Does The Vaccine Thread Give Insight Into Gun Confiscation...

[Ingomike]

So 50% said they wouldn't take the vaccine, 16% were unsure, and 33% said they were getting it. Based on the comments in the thread the vast majority have or are taking the vaccine as opposed to what they voted. Does this give any insight into what might happen in the event of gun confiscation among the members?

I think the numbers may be very similar. That in the end most would comply with what the powers that be told them to do and any suggestion of resistance is doodley squat.

Change my mind...

The majority of people are getting it, or simply the majority of those posting about it will get it?

How bout we start with you. What will you do? Talk is talk. Anyone can say anything but will they actually follow thru.

Those numbers don’t mean anything in a hypothetical.

Change my mind.

Hit a nerve?

What will I do? Don't know, but I haven't taken the vaccine. No one here does know.

You certainly failed to change my mind that there may be a correlation...

I said what I would do.

I am doing what I said.

I cannot speak for others, but I suspect I can guess. (Particularly after hearing how some here vote on other matters.)

I am still unsure on the vaccine. Gun confiscation is my hill to die on. If I ever get another firearm after losing all of mine in a boating accident I won't give them up freely.

It doesn’t give insight at all. They’re two different things. People who support the 2A do it mostly for principled unchanging reasons. The people who said they weren’t getting the shot were mostly apprehensive about it. It’s experimental. Not FDA approved other than for emergency reasons. I was in that camp too.

My position on it has been “you first”, and then we’ll see. Well, now we’re seeing. Tens of millions of people in the US and it’s proving itself to be safe enough. So it’s quite understandable that people who refused initially now are willing to get it.

It’s incomparable to the gun debate. I don’t have the same outlook I have with vaccines. You’re asserting that people changing their minds about an experimental vaccine after seeing people not falling over dead, somehow predicts who will cave when 0biden comes for our guns. And that’s just not the case. But it does appear to inform about your thinking.

So why did you say you won’t get the vaccine? Is that a team commitment?

Good post. I'm still at you first, as the virus reality has not even come close to the hype.

Are you implying that even pondering if those that were vocal as to not taking the vaccine giving in and doing so is analogous to giving in to gun confiscation is crazy thinking?

 

[snorko]

Your logic falls apart on your presumption that all who voted also commented. And I would say there is likely to be no correlation whatsoever.

I agree. The poll was closed a long time ago. The thread has continued on probably with many that didn't even vote.

 

[Tombs]

The Vaccine is an IQ test.

Brand new experimental technology that hasn't been through the 2 year FDA approval process, and continues generating piles and piles of reports of lethal side effects while getting banned in various nations.

Do you take it because a flashing box in your living room said it was a good idea, or do you let a few neurons in your brain persuade you to think about it for a moment?

 

[HoughMade]

Anyway...

Perhaps many people who were initially hesitant when the vaccines were rolled out have obtained more information which has addressed their concerns.

I have a tendency to call that: "rational". It's not evidence of compromise in the least as I don't know why anyone would even develop an absolutist philosophical position about vaccines. I have a very firm absolutist philosophical, moral and legal position about the right to keep and bear arms.

You can't be too hard on people for the decisions they have made in regards to this. This is still America. I just hope the same courtesy will be given to people who choose not at this time to take it,but I would guess that will be a slim chance.

 

[BugI02]

Oh, look! A chance to posture, as well as leave a semi-public record of what I might or might not do in certain hypothetical situations so it can potentially be used against me.

I simply can't imagine why some may be hesitant to participate. Care to tell us your plans for kidnapping the governor of Michigan?

 

[Magyars]

Still haven't taken the jab and am adamant that I won't.
I'm a curmudgeon and tend to go against the crowd anyhow.
As far as firearms and the second amendment go.....
We shall have to see, but I think if the Canucks can defy their government I guess I can too!

Brother, I suspect we all have rather thick FBI/Homeland security files.
Might be interesting to request a copy?

I made no such presumption. I posted in the vaccine thread how vocal those happy to take the vax were compared to the vote totals and was told that the poll was locked and many that had been against take it had changed their minds.

So big anti-covid vax talkers that capitulated are in no way indicative of big talking pro-gun capitulation?

What is this more information you speak of? I only see propaganda from those that created and funded it pushed by media and social media.
