Dumb ****, what a failure of a straw man arguement. Dumb asses like you are the prime reason we need more background checks.
Do you know what a "straw man argument" really means???
Unlike you I won't guess so here is what the experts say it means...
"A straw man or straw person, also known in the UK as an Aunt Sally, is a type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged, emotional issues."
Straw man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If it is a STRAW MAN argument it is de FACTO a failure because it is a misrepresentation of an opponent's position!
So when you SAID the "straw man argument "FAILED" then there was solid validity to the position: "Not one anti gunner wanted the gun free sign"!
It wasn't a misrepresentation of the argument that anti-gunners are ALL talk , but when it comes to the reality of accepting an "gun free zone sign...
. whoa... NO 'gun free sign" for the anti-gunner!
And you agreed.
Because you called it a "FAILED" straw man argument..i.e. there was no illusion it is reality.. the anti-gunner doesn't want a gun free zone sign!
If this was a straw man argument that FAILED you mean you support the statement that "they can't stand by their principles" which is
what the thread title states and "bigrebnc1775 " proved when the anti-gunner refused the "gun free sign"!
So OLD ROCKS.. maybe before you throw out those old worn CBS/ABC/NBC talking heads cliches like "straw man argument".. you should learn what the real meaning is.. i.e. "creating the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition"
This was pretty simple argument: anti-gunners don't stand on their principles when it comes to putting a "Gun Free Zone" sign in their front yard!
