I just came off a long exchange in the Gungeon, I won't dignify it with "debate" as one side

stubbornly remained fact free or massaged what facts were presented.

Through out it was maintained that the Clinton assault weapons ban cost Democrats the congress and WH. Also maintained that the ban had NO EFFECT WHATEVER.

What have they to say to the Pic of the day?

the position that it's OK if thousands of die every year if it means they don't have to be inconvenienced while playing at their hobby. And they insist that any inconvenience to them in the pursuit of that hobby would be a terrible injustice to them.

Not a lot of room for rational thought in those brains.
