In reply to the discussion: Father and son dead, 2 wounded after shootout at gun shop [View all]beevul
(12,194 posts)18. Its not nice to misrepresent the actions of others, Sheila.
All you've done is complain about my responses...
No, I've complained about just 1 of your responses, basically. I could complain about you attributing to the nra a position it does not hold, but I didn't. I simply corrected you.
If anything, I've been easy on you. Gentle even. You're welcome.
...and have not made any hint of what you would do to reduce gun deaths.
Its not nice to misrepresent the actions of others, Sheila. I suggested focusing on suicides, as you damn well know, since you referred to it in your last sentence. So really the question is, why can't you be bothered to debate the topics of guns/gun deaths honestly, if 'every single gun death is unacceptable' to you? I guess honesty in debate is 'more' unacceptable than guns deaths, in your view, huh?
Gun confiscation would minimize the suicides.
Except gun confiscation is not going to be allowed. Period. And you knew that before this thread even started.
If its really true that you happen to think that 'every single gun death is unacceptable', how come I see you here complaining about something you know you will never see happen to reduce gun deaths, and ignoring something viable which would with zero resistance from anyone, definitively reduce gun deaths?
Is it because you hate guns and the deaths are an easy crutch for you to lean on to make arguments against guns?
Because that's sure what it looks like.
