Gun Control: Shiny Toy Guns

[Tobleste]

Well in case you're wondering, this is why millions of Americans think you and people with similar opinions to you are effectively heartless monsters. And no. It's not just because they disagree with you.

I don't know if I would go as far as that. Most gun control supporters don't think pro gun people are monsters, but that's just my experience.

Apparently their opponents think differently. Hopefully gun control supporters will realise they're not dealing with people who can be reasoned with. Cultural and financial pressure on politicians and companies is the only thing that's going to work.

If that's the way you look at it, you aren't going to get anywhere. Saying your opponents aren't people that can be reasoned with only pushes them farther away.

You need reason to reason...

But whatever, try to force your terrible belief, perhaps you end up like Hitler's buddies before you.

Can we maybe steer away from using the Hitler card?

So what's the alternatives? Looking at this thread and the NRAs actions, I'm not sure there is one.

Why? Accurate comparisons are a useful tool.

I wouldn't say it is an accurate comparison.

Okay, it is to me.

Hitler and fascist gets thrown around so much that it doesn’t really quantify anything anymore.

Ok. Explain.

Thank goodness good guys with guns stopped another potential massacre/terror attack. Those people are not true texans and they make real texans look bad

Nah man, I just want kids to die. Why? Because he told me that’s what I wanted, and he must be smarter then me because he’s an anti./s

[Telconi]

Okay, it is to me.

Ok. Explain.

Gun control advocates are equally repulsive as Nazis.

[Valgora]

Okay, it is to me.

Ok. Explain.

I can see why he thinks it is an accurate comparison: both wanting to take away rights.
However, I agree with Sovaal that Hitler and Fascist and Nazi are thrown around too much.

Nein!!

I dunno, Nazis want genocide and a war of conquest. I'd say that's more repulsive

The NRA opposes stupid legislation. Look at the newest laws enacted in Florida. The NRA didn't challenge the gun restraining order, or the improvements to how mental evaluations are handled. They only brought the law suit against the raising of the age for long guns to 21 instead of 18. They have stated they wouldn't be apposed to a well crafted law aimed at banning bump stocks, but they have pulled out all the stops to appose an assault weapons ban. Most of the people you have been debating with here are quite willing to discuss solutions to the problem, they are just unwilling to submit to stupid or pointless legislation, which is the majority of what is proposed. Those that are hardliners are hardliners because they have been burned in the past. Saying you aren't going to reason with them only increases the number of hardliners and makes the hardliners look correct in their dealings with you.

Hmmm. Yoga or meditation might help with the anger.

Was that’s a Webley?

Anyway, good thing, shooting the antis isn’t going to convince them of anything.

That too.

Blasting away with a machine gun out away from anything is a better way to deal with that, imo.

I’ve always wanted to chop down a tree with a mini gun...

That's just and adrenaline high and then you go back to being angry.
