I don't know what those entail, and unlike you, I do not sign on support to things that are underspecified. I will say that I repeat that I do not think Ames is suggesting more at this time than that the conversation itself is part of a bigger problem, unrelated to guns. This is the only part of the posting that Doug referenced which I find compelling to consider, and I believe that you have misunderstood it gravely, even though you've now quoted from it twice.

If forced, perhaps at gun point by you (I kid!), to answer yes or no, I'd have to say no. I hope that's useful to you.

The rest, deleted.
