I will only defend my position to a person who has a position.
You're trying to deflect and remove goalposts. There's no such thing as only defending your position only to someone with the same goal you have. I've already stated my position: Freedom inherently has risk. You're clearly so insecure about your position on the subject that you're only willing to share it with like-minded people who won't criticize you.
If you are not here to put your own plan out to reduce gun violence then you are simply here to attack anyone that does.
I'm not calling for a shred of gun control. I want to roll it back. As I said, freedom inherently has risk. Since most gun deaths are suicides, it would be more beneficial to discuss suicide prevention, but your fixation is solely on firearms and that's a position you cannot defend.
It's never been about lives. It's been about guns all along.
You're basically saying you're cowering from defending your position to an audience that isn't applauding you.
That is not debate and it is one sided. Come to the table with a plan of your own as an adult and I will be happy to offer mine as well. I have offered it many many many times before you ever came to this thread. And your moronic guesses about my background are laughable. I have advanced degrees in my field and served ten years active duty military. Just one of the many things you get wrong. LOL
If you're only willing to share a plan with someone who agrees with you, why do you keep demanding sources from people who disagree? That's dishonest and it means you're not only trying to evade defending your own position, you're trying to hold your opponents to a different, higher standard as a means of rigging the discussion in your favor.
Nobody who has a coherent position and can defend it behaves this way. Those who do not, do behave this way.
You've made a few silly remarks about "filling out papers" in spite of that multiple mass murderers have filled out papers, gotten guns legally, and sprayed people anyway.
You can't even answer a simple of question how if you don't want to ban guns, then how much "gun violence" as you call it are you willing to accept as part of the freedom of keeping and bearing arms? It seems that you have a position that you have not thought out very thoroughly, thus your argument is internally contradictory.
I'm making no guesses about your background. Nobody employed and supporting himself makes over 10,000 posts on one website over the course of a few months. Nobody that's been to college behaves like an immature child, lacking in basic logic and persuasion skills and tries to use giggling, mockery, name-calling and goalpost-moving as surrogates for every single time someone asks him a pointed question about defending his position on a given thread. It's all a gaggle of juvenile evasion tactics. Your behavior is juvenile; don't blame me for noticing it.
