5. My stereotype???

Can you identify my supposed "stereotype of gun owners"? I am unaware that I have stereotyped gun owners as a class of people. Are you responding to some stereotypical argument and not what I actually said?

Nobody is arguing for a dept of needs. Your guess is incorrect, as is your guess that I don't know anything about the subject of guns. Your evasion of the issue and your presentation of pathetic straw men for you to shoot down is evidence that your position is devoid of any logical or moral basis.

By your straw man logic, you deny that any regulation can happen without everything being banned. By this logic one can argue that unless we allow terrorists to have nuclear weapons, we'll all be defenseless sheep who will be quickly slaughtered. Both positions are absurd, and this idiotic black and white logic is nothing more that chickening out of the debate.
