[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77276525, member: 123415"] As true as that may be, there's a lot of problems that are pervasive...Most people would prefer if the person giving the advice is at least somewhat knowledgeable on the subject. For instance, we've got a massive obesity problem on our hands. A person could be 100% right in pointing that out, but the people proposing the official solutions to that problem should at least know a little bit about what they're talking about. A person (who doesn't know anything about guns) throwing out "solutions" ends up with measures that are both inconveniencing, and largely ineffective. Sort of like when certain officials accurately pointed out the obesity problem, but then followed it up with <sarcasm>Slam Dunk</sarcasm> solutions like "maybe we can make McDonald's take the super size off the menu" or "Let's make stores and restaurants ban large sodas" In the era of "credentialism", you'd think there'd be more of a rigid standard on that. Rand Paul got blasted for questioning Fauci because, despite being a doctor, he wasn't "the right kind of doctor". (and there was some merit to that critique, an eye doctor isn't going to have the same level of virology expertise as a virologist). However, on other issues, people don't seem to hold the same standard. [/QUOTE]
