Mega-Thread: Gun Control Thread

[GreatOak]

Let's be honest. If the gun makers thought there was a market the NRA would push for nuke rights.

Yeah, if people wanted them they probably would

You're silly.

[Rukentuts]

You're silly.

In this case he's right. There's a vast number of yahoos out there.

How could you possibly pass a bill that allows state officials to prosecute federal agencies for doing their job to execute the federal law?.

I'd love to watch a state official attempt to prosecute a federal agent. Many laughs would be had.

Of course not, that's not in the Constitution or anything.

But...that's the part of the constitution I disagree with, and I have a quote for 1789 that says otherwise.

That's an extreme exaggeration, so he's not right. The NRA has supported gun control in the past for issues to do with firearms, they have no reason to start supporting private nuclear weapons. It's silly to even argue this. I don't dismiss that we have our wackjobs on this side of the fence, but so do you. You're not going to be able to convince me that the majority of people are so insane that they would support such a claim. It's absurd to nth degree.

He didn't claim a majority. He claimed a market would exist.

And the NRA is so fucking stupid they even support universal background checks until they're proposed. God only knows what goes through their heads.

He claimed the NRA would support it. Since the NRA isn't a singular entity, they'd need support within their own camp.

The schnozzberries taste like schnozzberries! And we've devolved into this kind of argument. The NRA supports, and funds, the NICS.

Good Guy Wayne Lapierre...

Yeah, their camp. Which isn't exactly full of raving intellectuals. Anyone who can equate 'universal background checks' to 'gubmint comin' fer yer gunz' needs a reality check.

They also support lobbying of hypocrisy and fear-based lunacy.

He said something similar after Newtown. Then once universal background checks might become an actual reality he reverted into the "gubmint coming fer yer gunz" bullshit.

The fallacies in your arguments are reaching critical mass. Do you have anything to back up what you're saying? Or is this just a rant?

More nothing. At least give me something to debate.

I'm aware reality might be a little shocking.

Reality according to Rukentuts. Logos need not apply.

Which is yet far more logical than the reality generating by cognitively deficient NRA members like Mr. Pierre.

The problem is Rukentuts is you're making a lot of claims, but with absolutely nothing to back them up. You're just handing out Ad Hominems left and right. There isn't anything to debate here. This is basically "I'm right because I said so."

Probably because this is the upteenth time this cycle has gone around, and I'm not going to link the same shit over and over because as far as radical gun-clingers go, it's a waste of my time.

Yet you're still here. If you're not willing to present facts, examples, and statistics, then why bother staying around? You're just here to do personal attacks on people now? Neat.

I'm here to point out the bullshit that is the NRA and the idiocy of their statements.

All you're doing is raving and ranting. You actually just refused to prove it.

Maybe you could search the few hundred pages back.

[Jaxi]

Maybe you could search the few hundred pages back.

Yeah. Search through over a thousand pages to prove your argument. If you can't even be bothered to support your own argument then you're doing nothing.

We're done here.
