Guns in Public, and Out of Sight

154. That would appear to be a thinly veiled personal attack.

That would appear to be a thinly veiled personal attack.

You're assigning compulsiveness to others who have given no indication of being so.

But I wont alert, because posts and themes like it, help only help the pro-gun cause, and hurt your efforts against it.

On top of that, you're asserting posters here are doing things they aren't doing:

"Comparing guns to fire extinguishers"

No one, of course, is doing that. Comparing ones reasons for having one thing versus ones reasons for having another thing, is not the same thing as comparing one thing versus another thing.

In fact, you're trying to change the argument into comparing one thing versus another thing, then attribute that argument to your "opponent".

There are words and phrases that describes that:

Dishonest. Disingenuous. Straw man.

You really need to understand that for the great majority of us that frequent this forum, this isn't our first rodeo, and doing such things as attributing to others words they have not posted...behaviors they have given no evidence of engaging in...arguments they have not made...or views they've given no evidence of holding...only makes one look Dishonest and disingenuous.

And posters here are seasoned enough to recognise it for what it is, and identify it as such.
