Texas Shooting Spree Leaves 2 Dead, 5 Wounded

But the NRA is an organisation for gun owners and since this gun owner (legal or not) committed a clear terror act by attacking random people... does that mean the NRA is a terror organisation?

A loaded question fallacy, and now a guilt by association fallacy. Going to go down the whole list of argumentative fallacies?
 
Gee, I thought "liberal" CCW laws like the ones in TX were supposed to prevent incidents like this.

if you would rate all muslims as a rterror organization because of 9/11 because you are Bill Orielly on the daily show then yes.
 
MaggieD said:
Yep, this incident proves it. Let's confiscate all the guns from legal gun owners and throw out the Second Amendment.

Thanks for calling that to our attention, Tererun. :roll:

Well there's quite the extrapolation. Since you're against "throwing out the second amendment," surely you must then be in support of giving every American a rocket launcher. Even children.

Hey this game is fun.

Well, you may think the game is fun, but that's because you've got the rules screwed up.

Well, if you can show me one politician running on the "give every man, woman, and child a rocket launcher" platform then you'd have a point, but til then it is just a worn out, and debunked argument.

Since terrorism seems to involve an organization that remains to be seen, but we do know this is a gun owner. Go go gun owners.

there you go again-lumping law abiding gun owners (whom you hate) with criminals (whom you desire have safer working environments)

The NAACP is a black organization

Over half the murders committed in the United States are committed by blacks

does that Make the NAACP a "murder organization"

see how STUPID your point is?

that's a stupid argument

it decreases the chances

just like exercising and eating healthy decreases the chances of heart disease

so if someone who is fit and eats right gets heart disease do you claim its silly to engage in such activity?

of course not
 
sangha said:
So you're saying no matter what the law, people will sometimes be defenseless?

I'll have to remember that one! :lol:

no matter what the law is, some people will be defenseless

that's pretty obvious isn't it

a man in a coma is pretty defenseless

a baby is pretty defenseless

was the cop who got shot defenseless?

what is the silly point you are trying to make?

life is all about odds.

you can study all the time and not make it into Harvard

However, by doing that you increase your chances

You can work out all the time and still get sick or hurt

however, being physically active decreases the chances of contracting many diseases or injuries

you can be armed all the time and be well trained and still fall victim to violent crime

however by being well armed and well trained you are much more likely to avoid or survive a vicious attack than someone who is unarmed and untrained

It is completely moronic to suggest that because someone who is well armed succumbed to a criminal attack justifies disarming other people

The post maggie quoted made absolutely no indication that the poster believed what she decided it believed.

So I went and did the same for her.

Is that why they miss their targets so often?

obviously they aren't trained enough

but they are far better trained than 99% of the scumbags they get in gun fights with


most of whom "learn" how to shoot watching TV

(trust me turning a handgun sideways is not conducive to accurately hitting targets quickly)
 
sangha said:
Are you sure about that?

Maybe they don't have enough guns

is there are point to that silliness? or are you bored?

I don't think they care about accuracy.
