    Fair enough.

    Sure, because people will still illegally possess weapons as they do now in areas with strict gun laws. You’re just punishing people that obey the law, who really aren’t the threat for the most part.

    Then by all means structure an argument to debate with instead of a baseless statement. If you have nothing else to add then the only thing to address is the absurdity of your stance.

    Force. You could have answered the first time I asked and saved us both time.

    Come on, man. Be serious. No guns = No shootings. What is so difficult to understand? I've already named the method of approaching zero so you should know what I am talking about.
    Oh, please. Those law-abiding citizens who turn in their guns will continue to be .... law-abiding.... and they will be compensated. That's not a "punishment".
    I have asked you to criticize me for what I actually said but you persist in this "Froggy the Gremlin" nonsense. Rewrite this sentence of yours and state exactly what it is you think is "absurd". Honestly - I don't think you can.
    You have no idea what you are saying. Where does "force" come into it? Do you know? Have you read my reply?

    BOTTOM LINE: I think your convictions are absurd, second-guessing and you have no idea what I am saying so you fall back on some predetermined prejudice you have. One thing is for sure and that is that you are not following the thread of thought. You are just jumping to outrageous conclusions that have nothing to with anything I've said. At the very best you just don't understand but you don't want to say so.

    I think it's more some liberal mass media conspiracy attempt to try and improve ratings. Who wants to hear the same ole same ole 50 African Americans being shot on Chicago's Westside every weekend? Now, if you have a white teenage kid wearing a red MAGA hat that's impeding and harassing an Indigenous person's right to chant and freedom to move then that's news. Oh, wait a minute. That fake racist white supremacist bullcrap was proven fake news beyond any doubt, so was the Jussie Smollet "This is MAGA country" noose wearing incident, so was the "Hands Up Don't Shoot", so was the collusion collusion collusion theory and so was the countless other fake news stories that have been pounded down the throats of Americans as conservative racist white privilege.

    It’s really hard to take you seriously because you’re not able to construct an argument outside of “ban guns.” You’ve not proven you can think any further than that. You think you make sense but either you’re just unable to communicate a logical position or you don’t have one.

    That is a punishment because everyone has their own reason for owning firearms and you’re forcing them to turn them in when they are not the issue. There are parts of the US such as Alaska where people rely on firearms to live. It’s a small portion of the population but what will you do with them?

    I have numerous times with what little of a position you have. You obviously can’t have a logical conversation about this so you’re trying to frame me as not understanding your position. I do and I’m waiting for you to prove you actually have a position beyond “get rid of all guns.” That is the dumbest, most basic thing you can say. You’re too dense to accept that the position is absurd because you either don’t know any better or refuse to debate with someone with an opinion you can’t accept.

    I don’t need to rewrite anything since I’ve been clear. Try critically thinking of your plan and bring it back here once you have one. Something a little more concrete than “no guns, no bang-bang.”

    You’ve gotten yourself all worked up and are projecting. This is exactly what I think with you but am too adult to actually it. It’s pretty obvious who in this conversation understands what they’re saying and who can’t put together a coherent argument. Take a break and get your feelings back to a low simmer and build the rest of your argument.

    Bottom line? You haven’t even gotten past your thesis statement. Again more projection. Only you have shown a predetermined prejudice, are unable to understand a position that is actually substantiated and are not even capable of providing a counter argument for me to address. You keep reiterating the same nonsensical stance. It’s not a matter of anyone else understanding you, it’s you failing to actually put thought into a conversation.

    Go relax, kiddo, and maybe contemplate your position better.

    Well, that has been blatantly obvious for years.

    Proving my point. You really want children's corpses to put on a stick and parade around to forward your political goals.

    thanks for making it obvious that you don't really care about the people you care about politics just confirming something I already knew.

    Does it spice up life enough to take on the additional stress of feeling like a victim all the time? I don’t understand that complex but maybe I’m missing some of the excitement.

    Apart from this reply being an excuse to launch an ad hom what part is incorrect?

    If that attack had happened here it would have gained international recognition

    Why?

    Because in the last 23 years we have had only 3 mass shootings 2 were murder/suicides of families and one was bikie gang related.

    It's a character issue. you don't argue honestly because you have a political goal.

    and it's good that you admit that there were mass shootings that occurred after your idiotic gun ban it didn't work.

    Yeah, Australia doesn't have the same gun culture as the US. The Australians actually willingly complied with the ban and the buyback program, Americans....ehh won't be as enthusiastic largely. Plus we have a law that basically prohibits the government from doing what ya'll did.

    The entire front page of Google pulls this up when you simply search "Maryland shooting". ABC, CNN, Fox.

    I dunno. Ask a Democrat. There must be some reason that they play on victimhood.

    All basically the same bland article, mostly way at the bottom of the page.

    Good for Australia. It’s not a comparison.

    Maybe since NO ONE WAS KILLED (and it wasn't a "Random Attack" by some Trump-Enabled RACIST (That KILLED Many People--Like in El Paso))--It isn't as "Newsworthy"?

    It makes me totally LMAO when I see Trump's "Defenders" trying to "pad the stats" with incidents like the one in the OP in order to Deflect From Trump's RACISM Being 100% Responsible for Inspiring the El Paso Massacre.

    Better luck next time. Thanks for playing.

    I think you're partly right, it can't be connected to Trump, so...

    I’m asking you since you’re acting like a victim.

    The sheer scale of the program is different too. The only way reasonable gun laws will pass in this country is if both sides compromise. You’re never going to get a total ban.
