Not really. When a presumptuous fool uses ad hominem in a Logos debate, I set the record straight.
Don't bother with Saikyo. He is a known troll that rarely contributes to the discussion other than snide insults.
In fairness, Saito left a good counter point with the tiger rock in response to Alesandros who's only bragging about his manliness via military service atm.
But it wasn't even.
His response was the logical fallacy of False Equivalence.
How so? I thought he was saying correlation doesn't equal causation in a way that made me laugh. I'm in and out some other topics, so maybe I missed something.
And I guess technically he/they troll attempt me too since I own a couple firearms and I do read the "guns cuz little dick lololol" stuff. I don't get emotional because this is 261. Have thicker skin. There's lots of great points from the evil gun control side and a lot of terrible points from the NRA, manufacturer highjacked side. Where'd TC go?
He suggested that his hypothetical anti-tiger rock, in an environment without tigers, repelling tigers at a 100% success rate is somehow comparable to real-world guns, criminals, and gun-free zones.

Every gun-free zone I've ever been to has been shooter-free. Guess they really do work.
What were the names of the schools, movie theaters, and airports that were not the gun-free zones that gun violence did not happen at again?
My memory must be mistaken.
Maybe you're just ruled by womanly emotions and have something to prove.
I've also got this rock that keeps tigers away. Haven't been attacked by tigers since I started carrying it.
You see, the thing is with inductive logic that when the inductive hypothesis fails to account for even 1 (notwithstanding multiple) contrary examples... the inductive logic fails scrutiny.

No way to tell if it's you or not. Let me guess, because you posted a video "Trapping a Pursuing FW 190" means that you trapped a FW 190, right? I also note it's the only video "of you" in uniform. I also won't contend that some of the videos have you with a short haircut. Physically fit... well, I won't be rude though I'll admit I have high standards of physically fit

No, I don't identify as a FW190... now a P-38G, maybe.
I'm sure your physical fitness standards contain things like:
- Hiking with 100+lbs of gear more than 18 miles and executing training/operations afterwards
- Conducting physically demanding activities with 100+lbs of gear
- Scoring 295 on USMC PFTs and 300 on CFTs
- Running 3 miles in less than 19:00 min
- Running Marathons (26.2mi)
*I'll admit, I'm a runner by trade and build... and favor lean muscle over mass as most of my military physical activities take/took place outside of air conditioned buildings and longer than 1 hour.

Back on topic, I agree. As a gun owner and avid CCW practitioner, I'm willing to make some compromises to better ensure that firearms are even less likely to find their way into the hands of the mentally unstable and criminals.

While I wouldn't profess to encompass the entire Right/Conservative side within the Gun Control debate, I can say that a large portion (probably a large majority) are people who desire to own firearms (as a constitutionally recognized liberty). A much smaller subsection may be people wanting to cash in on the whims of the former group. I believe one could say that this practice is not unique to gun control.
The question is "at what point do we allow the actions of an incredibly small portion of the population to adversely impose undue restrictions on the larger majority"?
I mean, do we ban all Muslims from entering the United States or impose certain restrictions on them just because a couple hundredths of a percent of their population engages in terrorism?
Do we ban all guns or impose certain restrictions on all gun owners just because a couple hundredths of a percent of their population engages in non-justifiable gun violence?
(Note to SakioStyle, that is how you establish an equivalence argument in inductive logic).

Sold as indiscriminately as is legal per state law. 50 laws for 50 different states make tighter laws in the state next door worthless. Mass firearm dealing without a FFL being legal as long as you never call yourself a dealer or have brick and mortar store or sell more than half your income, Buy 1 get 2 father and daughter sales at basspro, $10 for $10 defense firearm sales at Target (that's actually an exaggeration, to bad for all of us that the rest isn't), Manufactures hijacking gun culture turning most of the politically vocal firearm owners I know into unpaid shills only over the past few decades who sound nothing like their forefathers when it comes to guns.Are you insinuating that firearms at certain retailers are sold without compliance to FFL regulations?
Or are we talking about private citizen to private citizen sales?
On the latter, I'd be willing to compromise that all firearms sales must be brokered through an FFL entity or an analogous system.

Correct. "private citizen" and "collector" sales. I think it wouldn't be so bad if we just rolled things back to the pre-90s where if you sold more than 3-4 guns a year, hobbyist or not, you need to get a damn FFL. Now you can sell as many as you can fit on a cafeteria table in bum f*** ohio, for people to buy up and move somewhere guns are worth 4 times as much.

I have only two problems with that. First, considering how badly people drive, I do not think a test would be a bad idea. If you don't know how to not point a gun at those around you and basic safety like that, you shouldn't YET own a gun. Second, and much more importantly, registering guns is what will actually decrease gun crime. If your gun is used in a crime, they should track it back to you and if you sold it illegally, you should be prosecuted. Combine that with needing a FFL if you sell more than 2 or 3 guns a year and we are pretty much set
And to whoever made the comparison between guns and Muslims being similar in danger, if Muslims caused incidents at the rate of gun owners, we would have 1000 Muslim terrorist attacks a year in the US alone

Guns are already required to be registered at the FFL level through sales documentation, so no need to duplicate existing legislation.
And to whoever made the comparison between guns and Muslims being similar in danger, if Muslims caused incidents at the rate of gun owners, we would have 1000 Muslim terrorist attacks a year in the US alone
National Registration is one step away from mass confiscation; no 2A supporting people would agree to that, and I don't agree with that.
You register the people, not the gun. If you need to track a gun back, you go through the current processes of tracking a gun and it still works just fine.
The biggest loop whole isn't the "Gun Show Loophole", which is a label pushed onto the mainstream media by Anti-Gun folks; that's a misnomer, it's the person to person transaction loophole.
All transactions must use a FFL as a intermediary, period, no exceptions.
If you go around the system, you can charge the seller / receiver with a the lowest tier of felony as a punishment, so we need to make it clear to all, use a FFL, period.
As far as testing is concerned we need to teach the licensee about basic safe handling.
Canada has the correct acronym to make it easy to remember:
Assume every firearm is loaded.
Control the muzzle direction at all times.
Trigger finger off trigger and out of trigger guard.
See that the firearm is unloaded. PROVE it safe.
Drive these basic facts through the people's heads until it becomes second nature.
Shooting is similar, there are some simple basic facts we should be teaching to all folks
Anyways, I've given plenty of thought to a Federal form of legislation to begin with.

If you go around the system, you can charge the seller / receiver with a the lowest tier of felony as a punishment, so we need to make it clear to all, use a FFL, period.
As far as testing is concerned we need to teach the licensee about basic safe handling.
Canada has the correct acronym to make it easy to remember:
Assume every firearm is loaded.
Control the muzzle direction at all times.
Trigger finger off trigger and out of trigger guard.
See that the firearm is unloaded. PROVE it safe.
Drive these basic facts through the people's heads until it becomes second nature.
Shooting is similar, there are some simple basic facts we should be teaching to all folks
Anyways, I've given plenty of thought to a Federal form of legislation to begin with.
We have the "4" weapons safety rules here:
Treat-Never-Keep-Keep
1. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded
2. Never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot.
3. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
4. Keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire.
Addendum: Know your target and what lies beyond.
*I definitely believe that a reasonable compromise, requiring all private to private firearms purchases to be brokered through an FFL or analogous entity which can perform the necessary checks/safeguards.
You've got my thumbs up for that.

Guns are bad and they're used by bad people to do bad things 100% of the time. It's time to repeal the 2nd amendment.
Wow, what a childish Black & White view of a subject.
Yup, NRA supporters are often simple minded children who think in black and white.
That why regulations exist. (ewww, gun regulation bad!)
To cover the middle ground for a more nuanced approach.
Fundamentally, the problem in the United States and the countries it influence is that issues relating to guns are grafted onto the left-right spectrum, to the point where some low-information voters in the United States preferred the neoconservative warmonger over the progressive candidate because she took a more doctrinaire anti-guns approach.

QED
The only way Saikyo would have to admit that that person in the picture is you is if you take a Selfie with your Smart Phone with you holding Your GameFAQs username hand written on a piece of paper.
What next?
Also have a Selfie of you with your head next to your monitor while logged into GameFAQs with your account user name clearly visible
At that point, it'll be pretty hard to refute that you are who you say you are when you have that level of evidence

Every gun-free zone I've ever been to has been shooter-free. Guess they really do work.
What were the names of the schools, movie theaters, and airports that were not the gun-free zones that gun violence did not happen at again?
My memory must be mistaken.
Maybe you're just ruled by womanly emotions and have something to prove.
I've also got this rock that keeps tigers away. Haven't been attacked by tigers since I started carrying it.
"Womanly emotions"
Why are you equivocating women's emotions with something concerning an overly emotional response in a negative connotation? You damn bigot! Leave your prejudice at the door.

you go through the current processes of tracking a gun and it still works just fine.
There should be enough law enforcement agencies that disagree, the ones most of your stances seem depend on, for you to rethink what you've just said.

You cannot just put this on the mainstream media. It represents 0% of my views on the gun show loop hole for instance. I get pro-gun posters mixed up here, but are you the one who never went to a typical gun show in the U.S.? I've been to many and of various "shades", i'll just say. What stuck the "gun show" sticker on to this is the heavy visual of unlicensed dealers with inventories exactly as large as the FFL dealers right next to each other.
And I'll add to this that if anything the media shows gun shows in a misleadingly positive light more than anything, because the cameras are drawn towards the large annual ones where dealing without a FFL is allowed, but FFL booths will represent 80% of the sellers and background checks are encouraged, sometimes even required (although loosely enforced, naturally), by the show itself if you rent a booth without a FFL. The ones they have as often as the loop hole allows (you can not feasibly keep a gun show running 24/7 in counties all over the nation with just psuedo "collector hobbyist", just so ya' know), can be quite shady. People regularly walk out with dozens of cheap firearms sold by people desperate to sell them without hardly any worry of any serious repercussions at all. So, yeah, I'm going to stick to calling the loop hole the "gun show" loop hole for now.

Exactly, but I feel it's important for both sides to know that this happened relatively recently in U.S. history and the manufacturers intentionally hijacked gun culture in order to make it happen. The threat of anti-gun legislation actually sells guns for them and an over-abundance of firearms in circulation is what's indirectly the most responsible for the negative connotations in the U.S. to begin with.Socarrat posted...

70% of Police surveyed said "NO!" to National Tracking of Legal Gun sales, the current system works just fine.
So I'm pretty confident that most Police are on my side as well on that subject.

Then change all Gun Shows to require proper FFL licensing for all booths that sell actual guns, that's not a difficult concept to follow or enforce.

Anybody caught selling or transacting Firearms without using a FFL as a intermediary, punish them according to the law, make big signs warning people not to transact without using a FFL licensed intermediary.

If Anti-Gun legislation didn't exist; there wouldn't be spikes in gun sales, period. You want to slow down Gun sales? Don't push Anti-Gun Legislation, that just causes increased sales.
Obama and liberals with their threats and sometimes enaction of Anti-Gun legislation are the greatest salesman of all.
Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp 'Once Upon A Time in Mexico'-I was talking nationally, state-to-state.
-My point on the loop hole getting "gun show" stuck to it still stands. You're talking about the future you want, I'm talking about now. I was critizing you blaming the media for it.
-You're confusing cause and effect I believe. With politicians aside, no matter how wrong we feel anti-gun people are, whether it's your girlfriend or grandfather, they typically come from a position of complete and utter honesty. On the other hand, even my close gun owning friends and family are afraid to admit publicly that their primary reason for owning a gun is and always has been since childhood, "uh they're badass, duh" but publicly (well, on social media) they're on the defense 24/7 and lie that it's all about self-defense. For me it's the primary reason, for them it's more of a perk. They'll just straight up lie as easily as they breath on that though, publicly. I try to keep this out of gun conversations because of how instigating and unproductive it is to say, but there it is. Sorry to blow the whistle. Many people want to ban because they're scary looking, many people want to buy because their scary looking. I say we just except that as fact, quit trying to make manufacturers happy, and find a way to move on from that some how if we're gonna find solutions like this topic has been throwing out.KamenRiderBlade posted...
