Josh Marshall tearing up this op-ed american_ideals Oct 2017 #2

Does Marshall point out what those strawmen are? gejohnston Oct 2017 #4

Yes, Marshall shows how the dumb article is wrong and makes no sense. american_ideals Nov 2017 #5

Marshall flat out and unequivocally admits the findings in the article are correct. Decoy of Fenris Nov 2017 #6

America needs a handgun BAN. And an assault rifle BAN. american_ideals Nov 2017 #7

no it wouldn't gejohnston Nov 2017 #8

That kid was killed by a handgun. We need a ban. american_ideals Nov 2017 #9

more people are saved with guns gejohnston Nov 2017 #10

Absolutely false. Gun bans REDUCE crime american_ideals Nov 2017 #12

If it were true, sarisataka Nov 2017 #16

Gun bans actually work american_ideals Nov 2017 #37

here is a question, gejohnston Nov 2017 #40

You avoided the question sarisataka Nov 2017 #47

man your sniffing some powerful glue mikeysnot Nov 2017 #76

No, I just believe in science, gejohnston Nov 2017 #77

No, sorry epic fail mikeysnot Nov 2017 #78

you missed the point gejohnston Nov 2017 #79

You do realize that this was from 2013.... mikeysnot Nov 2017 #80

I'm quite well aware of the year gejohnston Nov 2017 #82

Wait..what? First of all I never blamed you for anything mikeysnot Dec 2017 #83

You didn't read the article gejohnston Dec 2017 #84

Indiana's gun laws are to blame for crime in Chicago american_ideals Dec 2017 #87

there is a propaganda technique called gejohnston Dec 2017 #89

Handgun ban. YOU are helping get America's kids killed. american_ideals Dec 2017 #94

Oh great, john657 Dec 2017 #96

Bullshit. That claim is merely an article of faith, one easily demonstrated to be false: friendly_iconoclast Dec 2017 #91

Since this is old, I'll just say: you are helping get Americans killed. american_ideals Dec 2017 #93

Rote recitation of talking points saves no Americans from getting killed... friendly_iconoclast Dec 2017 #99

'Proof by assertion' is evidence of nothing: friendly_iconoclast Dec 2017 #100

Your arguments are flawed - more guns means more crime and death. It's simple. american_ideals Dec 2017 #86

card stacking and ad hoc fallacies gejohnston Dec 2017 #90

Statistics show you are wrong. Handgun ban. YOU are helping get Americans killed. american_ideals Dec 2017 #95

OK so you get your ban. oneshooter Dec 2017 #97

Obviously this will have to wait for a Democratic controlled congress discntnt_irny_srcsm Dec 2017 #98

Again, 'argument/proof by assertion' is not proof of anything: friendly_iconoclast Dec 2017 #102

So you have yet to answer a simple question about the policy that you advocate. Why is that? oneshooter Dec 2017 #105

"I already cited the arguments, and the data." Where? I don't see anything. Decoy of Fenris Nov 2017 #13

Listen to the weeds podcast I linked american_ideals Nov 2017 #15

You didn't link a Weeds podcast. You linked a pro-RKBA editorial in response to a pro-RKBA editorial Decoy of Fenris Nov 2017 #17

Come on. The US needs a handgun ban. american_ideals Nov 2017 #18

There's nothing to respond to. You've offered nothing of substance. Decoy of Fenris Nov 2017 #24

Handgun ban would save kids' lives american_ideals Nov 2017 #26

By chance are you familiar with sarisataka Nov 2017 #27

It's a good point american_ideals Nov 2017 #31

Unfortunately it is not a damning report sarisataka Nov 2017 #41

The majority of Americans are opposed to a handgun ban ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #67

Yes you gotta wonder why mikeysnot Nov 2017 #81

Thank you. Well put. american_ideals Dec 2017 #85

What kind of rifles do you shoot, make and model, and in what capacity? Marengo Dec 2017 #88

I enjoy shooting my 1858 Zouave rifle (repro), yagotme Dec 2017 #92

O these statements of your are"pure bullshit"? oneshooter Dec 2017 #104

project much? mikeysnot Jan 2018 #112

Nope, never. oneshooter Jan 2018 #113

You are quotet as saying, in print oneshooter Jan 2018 #115

have someone explain it to you then. mikeysnot Jan 2018 #116

But I'll humor you by quoting article in support of a handgun ban anyway. american_ideals Nov 2017 #19

more kids choke on small toys than get shot gejohnston Nov 2017 #22

Moving the goalposts. Gun restrictions reduce gun crime. Period. american_ideals Nov 2017 #25

because more people will be killed or mained. gejohnston Nov 2017 #30

And: links showing Australian gun laws reduced gun crime american_ideals Nov 2017 #21

Yeah, OPs that didn't bother to do the research gejohnston Nov 2017 #29

You asked for articles. I gave you six american_ideals Nov 2017 #34

no, I said facts, reason, and evidence gejohnston Nov 2017 #36

You're still missing the forest for the trees: ban handguns to keep kids in cities from getting shot american_ideals Nov 2017 #39

Actually, gejohnston Nov 2017 #42

To be frank american_ideals Nov 2017 #44

//// gejohnston Nov 2017 #46

Face facts: gun restrictions reduce gun crime. Of course they do. american_ideals Nov 2017 #23

Vox writers are barely literate gejohnston Nov 2017 #33

Now you're being ridiculous. Handgun bans will help, and Vox is a great source. american_ideals Nov 2017 #35

no, I'm being totally serious gejohnston Nov 2017 #38

Do some reading, think about the forest/trees argument american_ideals Nov 2017 #43

not a fan of the NRA for various reasons, gejohnston Nov 2017 #45

Your schtick is far from new- 'Proof by assertion' and 'Lovejoying'... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2017 #55

Handguns. Straw Man Nov 2017 #48

Geology has what to do with criminology? gejohnston Nov 2017 #32

Go ahead and ban them. oneshooter Nov 2017 #50

Sorry. When toys are recalled, does the government pay for them? (Hint: no). american_ideals Nov 2017 #57

Gun prohibitionists do far more typing than voting, so no 'gun recall' friendly_iconoclast Nov 2017 #58

Just wait! Wait until GOP/NRA voter suppression is stopped american_ideals Nov 2017 #63

More "the tide has turned" and "we'll have gun control Real Soon Now!", eh? friendly_iconoclast Nov 2017 #64

Gun fans: helping kids get killed every day in America. Need a handgun ban. american_ideals Nov 2017 #65

And, an every other gun ban. yagotme Nov 2017 #66

I'm a gun owner, I've known others who own guns SonofDonald Nov 2017 #52
