Why can't gun control be logical?

[JustAlex]

@Boba....tell your conservative friends not to make strawmen if you want me to stop pointing it out.

BTW, thank you for contributing to the thread by not adding anything to the topic.

Just who is behind our government leadership nowdays anyway? Who is pulling all the strings and trying to take more and more control over our everyday lives?

Money!

And the NRA owns the GOP so I don't even know why conservatives get so darn paranoid.

Nothing will happen while they continue to be the puppet masters.

I don't believe they understand much of anything.

I was at the mall yesterday and noticed a driver looking for a parking place. I flagged the driver down and pointed to a handicap parking space that was open. The driver looked puzzled and rolled down his window and said "I'm not handicapped". I told him I was sorry and that I saw his Obama bumper sticker and just assumed he suffered from some type of mental disorder. He gave me the finger and yelled obscenities at me. I guess his finger denoted his high IQ of 1. That's the last time I try to help anyone with a mental disorder.

Making logical fallacies such as strawmen, non-sequiturs, and straight up appeals to nonsense is something conservatives are experts are.

Thank you for proving it.

If that was supposed to be some attempt to discredit what I said, it was lame. Prove me wrong.

why do we blame the guns on anything....
they dont shoot themselves...
why dont we blame the people shooting them....why do we let these guys who shoot them live?

im so lost on this country anymore...we dont ever want to put the blame on the individual anymore

That's what liberals do and then if all else fails they play the race card. Each and every time without fail. No individual accountability whatsoever. You better hide your pressure cooker, that's next.

Sure.

Under the liberal ideal of gun control, the gun below is a deadly assault rifle. It has two pistol grips, a large capacity magazine and a folding stock. Nevermind that it is a toy airsoft gun that shoots plastic BBs, under the liberal definition of an assault weapon, this gun would be banned and illegal to own. Liberal gun control ignores the lethality of a gun and only addresses cosmetic aspects.
I repeat. Liberals don't understand guns.

^This comment is simply dumb to put it lightly.

You're making a nonsense argument based on a non-lethal weapon while saying that liberal don't understand REAL lethal guns.

Your strawman is talking about toys as if they are lethal thus making it seem as if Liberals would be stupid enough to ban a toy.

Your non-sequitur is then saying that because a toy gun looks scary liberals would ban them.....based on what exactly?

Your argument is null and void, no one has ever made it and it's ironic that in a thread talking about logic, you use these logical fallicies as a way to try to show how liberals don't have logic.

Brilliant.

A segment of the population wants to keep receiving government aid year after year after year. There absolutely no accountability to force these morons to work. The liberals way is to have honest hard working people pay for these scumbags. I just love seeing someone with government coupons at a checkout line in a supermarket and that individual is wearing $200-$300 sneakers. These liberals think they know how to spend my hard earned money better than me. Give it to these worthless scumbags.

And yet another non-sequitur.

Followed by a typical Obama bash with a stupid picture.

Want to continue doing these tactics?

I can't say exactly what he is thinking, but I think he based that comment off of gun bans that ban guns that look or sound scary, but are not nearly as deadly as other guns which they completely ignore. You say that the NRA controls the Republicans, the American Citizens who fear guns and are not intelligent enough to look at the facts and would prefer to loose their rights to gain a false sense of security

OK, I understood it, but it's still a flawed argument.

I personally have given up on trying to support any banishment of any guns, but the main reasoning for the ban is NOT because of their looks, it's because of their capability of causing massive damage.

The NRA does control the GOP and the recent Senate bill (which again had 91% approval by the nation) was rejected by an overwhelming majority of GOP senators saying no to something which should've been an easy yes.

It's cool though, the GOP continue to shoot themselves in the foot (pardon the pun in this gun thread)....and this only further sinks their chances of winning future elections.

As for the fact that Americans would rather lose their rights to gain a false sense of security....that's ridiculous and a further perpetuation of the paranoia from the Right.

NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE was talking about taking guns away from anyone.....
