And you're appealing to emotion instead of making any effort to understand and effectively solve the problem you have strong opinions about. You're entitled to your opinions but if you don't know what you're talking about maybe shut up, you're not doing anyone any favors being an uninformed loudmouth.

    You still haven't discussed the actual issue of how to stop people from getting shot up by guns.

    I've made it to step 1, understand the problem. That's further than you.

    No you're actually at step 0.2: "argue about the definitions of words used in describing the problem".

    It's really weird to me that you don't seem to think that understanding what you're asking for is important

    If you don't understand what we are talking about in regards to gun violence at this stage of modern history you have no business debating anyone.

    I understand that if you're advocating for a ban on assault rifles, which have been banned since 1934, you're not helping anyone but your opponents.

    No, you apparently don't understand. The contemporary public refers to "military-style" weapons as assault rifles. That is, if the gun looks at home in the hands of a soldier in camouflage the general public refers to it as an assault rifle. Again, if you do not understand the discussion around gun violence in today's world you should not be arguing over it.

    Also, you're still arguing semantics and haven't actually said anything, in any of your replies to anyone, about what can be done to curb gun violence which is the exact point the OP meme was making.

    Sure, boss, and when somebody cries about their kid getting hit by a truck on the way to school, you can show up and say, “Well, akshually, it’s a crossover SUV, so it has a unibody.” I’m sure that completely changes the issue. /s

    If there's an epidemic of people being killed by pickup trucks, and a bunch of dipshits are on the internet screaming "we have to ban SUVs!" despite SUVs already being illegal, then yes, yes I will.

    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?

    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.

    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
