66. Yes, utter bullshit describes your response aptly.

You originally said this:

So, by your reasoning, we should remove all laws against killing. After all, people violate them all the time.

I pointed out that it wasn't the reasoning of the poster you were replying to, but YOUR reasoning. How can I say that? Simple, I went back and read the post you were responding to, and low and behold, that poster never used the reasoning that you attributed to them. It can therefore be safely concluded, since there were two of you in that exchange, that if it wasn't that posters reasoning, that leaves only you.

You concocted it. You then attempted to attribute it to another poster.

Twist away, that's what you have to do to justify you gun lust.

I haven't bought a gun in over ten years now, and haven't touched one in weeks.

Some gun lust.
