The RKBA v Tyranny

[gejohnston]

28. I believe the claim is that

it is easier to resist tyranny, which is different. It is also impossible to prove a negative. The real burden is upon those who want to restrict any civil liberty or right to justify it using facts, evidence, and reason. The gun control/prohibition crowd's arguments are based almost entirely on logical fallacies, demonization, and disinformation.

I stand up for principle and treat ideologies as religion. I detest double standards and petty tribalism.
Demonization/one-dimensionality are propaganda techniques and distracts, at best, from the real debate. I dismiss such nonsense and the users out of hand because it shows that they lack the ability to engage in the ideas, or doubt the strength of their own arguments. When I debate a Tea Party person (or anyone else) I have confidence in my ability to debate the ideas, and that I have better arguments that can stand on their own merit.
As an individualist, I put the individual before any group and have no use for those who expect any individual to fit into any specific mold.
