Gun Control & RKBA

Which was it, a deliberate misrepresentation on your part, or substandard reading skills that inadvertently led to a misrepresentation of what I actually said?

Or are you above admitting it when you're wrong?

Do we need to plan on that little blurb being right at the top every reply I make to you, so long as it remains unaddressed?

Who 'we' james? The US isn't a democracy, its a representative republic. If we lived in a true democracy, somehow, I don't think you'd be very happy with it.

To my knowledge, Australia is both a representative democracy and a constitutional monarchy, which isn't quite the same thing as a plain old democracy.




If government confiscates your guns, and you agree with it, they've still confiscated your guns. The definition of confiscation isn't dependent on whether the targeted populace agrees or not. Were you under the impression that it was?

And unless it was 100 percent minus 1 individual (since I used plural) that agreed with it, my statement stands as correct:

They indeed compelled otherwise law abiding people to give up guns against their will. I'd ask you how many people that has to happen to before it becomes wrong, but you and I both know that you don't see gun confiscation as wrong, regardless of how many agree or disagree within a target population.

I'd ask how that squares with our party platform, but we already know the answer to that. Every last pro-gun regular on DU is closer to the party platform than you are. So spare me the 'lunatic fringe' innuendo, until you have a stronger more stable relationship with a mirror, and your own innuendo ceases to apply to you.




I don't believe that 95% number to be representative of the truth. And again, the definition of confiscate isn't dependent on whether the target populace agrees or not:



Do you see anything there in the definition about it being dependent on whether someone agrees or not? Me either.





Swell playmate the anti-gun crowd has over there...A staunch ally of the worst, most despised president to ever walk the earth. What a nice feather to keep in their cap.



Leave it to you, to portray things as if port Arthur happened after the Iraq war under *, hoping nobody would notice.
