Yes, I am. I've already explained this. Please stop posting lies.
It's really not, it's exposing the hypocrisy of this obviously insincere argument about safety.
The same people who shrug their shoulders when 20 first graders are murdered in their classroom, when 11,000 Americans die from guns in a year, suddenly are so very concerned about 539 murders. It's a lie. It's not about the crime, it's about some other factor. And since the same people chanting for a wall seem totally cool with immigration from countries where the people look like them, it sure does seem as if skin color has a lot to do with it.
It's not a red herring, one just has to be intelligent enough to understand the point of the argument. If 539 murders really was a "compelling argument", as put forth by several in this thread, then 11,000 murders should be as well. But, for those people who want to talk about 539 murders, the 11,000 is a number with which they seem unconcerned.
It's not a red herring, it's about pointing out insincerity and hypocrisy.
Nope. Every time you claim my post is not on topic, it is not honest.
Like I said, intellectual honesty is difficult for some people.
