Reply #17: "here"

that has been a common feature in propaganda here

Unless someone HERE, in this forum at this website, is reciting it, what is the point? None.

Even if someone here has done that, unless that person is at least minimally informed and sophisticated and engaged in the discussion of firearms policy, who cares what they say?

All kinds of apparently gun-militant trolls show up here weekly spouting gun-militant noise. I treat them like what they are -- trolls -- for the brief time they're around. Unless regular posters give their words their stamp of approval, I don't go quoting them as representing anything or anyone.

No regular advocate of firearms control who posts in this forum goes around saying "more guns = more crime". So tilting at that particular non-event is quite obviously done for the purpose of making somebody think that this is the "case" that firearms control advocates try to make. Since it isn't, that just isn't really, um, candid.
