How many school shootings have we had now? How could you not understand that kids geting shot is at the very core of the issue? You're not calling out a fallacy here, you're acting like a psychopath ignoring the issue.
You bait yourself to get triggered by an obvious joke. You argue semantics even after being called out on it and don't even know what an appeal to emotion is. Ever wonder if you're the one that needs to stop typing for a bit? You come of as nothing but the uninformed loudmouth you ask to shut up.
You're probably right, why understand a problem when remaining ignorant and screaming loudly is so much more likely to solve it
But you are the only one here being loud and telling people to shut up.
I'm telling people that theyre only helping their opponent when they have strong opinions about an issue they don't understand at all.
"The issue" isn't "knowing the precise terminology of specific firearms" you fucking gimboid. Get with it. The issue is being shot.
You don't.think understanding what you want to ban is an important thing to consider when you're pushing to ban something?
Yes. Rifles.
Then say that. Assault rifles are already illegal. If you push for a ban on assault rifles you look like a fool.
:)
When did I push for banning assault rifles?
Make sure you know what someone's saying before responding, next time.
Whether you do it or not you're defending it. Do you feel its constructive? If Tylenol was killing people, would it be helpful to go on the internet and post "holy shit, this is a real problem, why don't we ban heroin"? Wouldn't ignorant bozos posting nonsense on your behalf give ammo to your opponents?
Lol not falling for your concern trolling shtick
You have thus far said nothing to further this discussion, and instead have chosen to hit the brakes until everyone agrees with you
I don't give a shit if you agree with me. I'm giving you good advice it's up to you whether you want to listen. You're not helping anyone but your opponents by remaining ignorant.
...You gave me advice? In whose dream did that happen?
I really do want to jump down your throat and point out your inconsistencies with everyone else but I really don't feel like beating that dead horse right now
Instead I'll just settle for reminding you what a fucking moron you are because this is the internet and personal attacks are fair game because it isn't a formal debate setting where semantics actually matter you twat.
Ok, if you want to look like a dumbass and drag your side down, ensuring you never make any progress because you don't even understand what you're asking for, feel free I guess.
