How a discussion with a gun rights person goes . . .


More guns means more people are shot. Makes sense, right? Well re-phrase the statement and see how it goes:

Me: The sky is blue.

GR: Do you have any data to support that?

Me: Well it's generally known that the sky is blue.

GR: Really? According to who?

Second GR: Actually the sky is not blue. Chromatically it is cyan. Most people think it is blue but they are wrong because the true color blue looks more like purple.

Me: Uh, the sky appears to be blue because of reflection and refraction of white light which leaves the appearance of a blue color.

GR: Oh, so it isn't REALLY blue, it only appears to be blue. So you admit you're wrong.

Second GR: Why won't you admit that the sky is actually chromatically cyan?

Third GR: It's clear that you have no actual knowledge of color related issues so you have no right to make such a statement.

Me: Uh, well, color is the perception of light either reflected of passed by a medium, so the color of the sky is blue.

Second GR: You still haven't addressed the cyan color of the actual sky or the fact that blue isn't really blue but purple.

GR: Okay so you have moved the goal posts from what you first said, ie the sky is blue to the sky appears to be blue to the properties of the medium. Which is it?

Fourth GR: Lott debunked that a long time ago.

Fifth GR: If everybody had tinted glasses the sky would look the way I want it to look.

Me: Jesus Christ you people are so crazy!

Mods: Your post has been hidden by a jury. Reason; personal attack and broad brush of an entire group.

Good God they sure look stupid when they try to prove how smart and profound they are.

It's like anything else with these thoroughly predictable idiots.  Regardless of repeatedly verified and uniform statistical data,  they are right and everything they hate is wrong.  No facts can change their emotional diapers.

This asshole just takes it to ridiculousland.

Only to a Pajamaboi.  ALL data, uncolored by LIbEral EmotionialiSm, states the exact opposite.

Like I taught my kids long ago, writers of fiction create their own worlds reflective of their worldviews in which they control what characters do and say.

Indeed. It's easy to make your point when you get to script everything.

The only problem is federal statistics show that to be false. And we all know the government is the be all end all for truth.

I'll echo what Carl said about them trying to look smart and coming off stupid.

I wonder what post this primitive is referring to?

Gun Control has devolved to absolute fabrication


They have literally retreated to their safe space that permits no debate in order to write complete works of fiction to where they set the terms of the debate, make themselves the hero, and insert whatever statements they want to make their counterparts appear foolish. They then pile in to congratulate themselves and grouse about having to defend their positions.

It's breathtaking just how sad this really is.

And though they will deny it, the debate isn't about the sky being blue, it's about their rose-colored glasses.

There is even a complaint about the posting of articles discussing string theory in physics, so deep is the epistemological closure.

7. They really are pathetic, but the lies are all they have

They've invested so much of themselves into the concept of supporting gun control that they are no longer capable of admitting even to themselves that they could possibly be wrong.
