In reply to the discussion: Republicans Allow Potential Terrorist Buy Guns Legally?!?! [View all]CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)usually have a lot of trouble with. I think that your talking points come right out of the NRA book entitled - "How to Argue with Liberals about Gun Rights". Then again I strongly suspect you would use any argument that you think would give you a leg up in the gun rights debate.
But here is your problem, the more you defend stupid concepts such as, "Wait, you can't deprive a would be terrorist from buying an AR-15 (used in many recent mass shootings) along with high capacity magazines - what about due process", eventually the average American will think you have lost your mind and learn to disregard all of your arguments. And when I refer to average American I am not talking about the folks on DU, I'm talking about the average Joe on the streets.
Ever play poker? You can only overplay your hand so many times before your opponents will call on it every time. It the same in public relations. If you keep saying stupid, seemingly indefeasible things, and sooner rather than later you will be looking at gun control laws which you won't consider reasonable.
