If you want to make a good argument the first rule is to have good knowledge on whatever it is you're arguing over. That being the case, people who want to impose more restrictive gun control often don't have much knowledge on the topic. Take for instance this lawmaker from Colorado, she wants to ban "high capacity magazines" yet she doesn't even know much about magazines. She thinks they're disposable, that you shoot out the bullets and then toss the magazine. She doesn't know that magazines can be reloaded. Why would anybody elect her?

Yep, it's just like high capacity gasoline tanks found on trucks and SUVs - once those tanks are emptied then they are useless. ;)

As any college lecturer will tell you, no-one gives a toss why you think.
You need to be able to quote a reputable source.

Politicians though do talk some crap...any video of Donald Trump speaking will confirm that.

Good point. However if shes smart enough (used very loosely)to be a 'lawmaker' think of all the dumb asses that drank the Kool Aid voted for her or others like her.
Kinda partial to this fool.Anti-Gun Senator Is Being Mocked Relentlessly After He Warned of '30 Magazine Clips' in Embarrassing Video - TheBlaze And they actually let them make gun laws. Incredible.

They want to ban all guns and gun ownership. They don't need to know anything about guns.

I can only assume you mean DC. (Underlining by me) Isn't US Rep Diana Degette's own words reputable enough? Are you a gun banner today?

Either that or they're lying. They've been told millions of times that there's nothing more dangerous about "assault weapons" (their definition), but they keep telling their constituents that banning them will "end gun violence."
 
I've played that clip of that moron several times-along with another twit-Kevin DeLeon of California and his "ghost gungasm" which is equally stupid.

Don't know what is more disturbing.....her complete lack of knowledge, or the fact that all those LEO's that never bothered to correct her on the spot.

The video is a reputable source, its live footage of how stupid the gun banning crows is.

I might not agree with Trump about everything but I've got to give him credit, he's certainly much smarter than people such as Bloomberg or the woman in the video.

Yes De Leon is an idiot. He talks about "magazine clips." There is no such thing, magazines are one thing clips are another thing. And I don't know of any gun that can fire thirty bullets in half a second. And he talks about "ghost guns." Where do I get one? I always wanted one. proton pack gif - Bing
 
They want to ban all guns and gun ownership. They don't need to know anything about guns.

Then they shouldn't be in office, for both those reasons.

I suppose if you're a recognized expert on a subject, you can quote yourself.

There aren't too many recognized experts in Congress though and it's always best to be able to quote an impartial and respected source.

So an opponent of gun control quoting an NRA survey is a poor choice of reference as they're hardly impartial on the subject. And best not to post a link to an anonymous blog either with a credibility that can't be determined.

I don't think its ignorance on their part. Its just blatant dishonesty and deception on their part as a means to an end. For example how many times has some anti-2nd amendment trash poster(even after hundreds of times being informed those are not weapons of war) on this forum or politician called a modern sporting rifle a weapon of war or an assault rifle? How many times have some anti-2nd amendment trash politician or poster on this site referred to a ten to twenty round standard capacity magazine as a high capacity magazine? How many times have anti-2nd amendment trash politicians are even posters on this site bragged how gun bans worked in the UK and Australia even though the only thing gun bans did was change the weapon used to murder someone instead of significantly decreasing the number of murders in those countries? How many times have anti-2nd amendment trash lumped in suicides in with murders to make it seem thirty to forty thousand people are being murdered? How many times have anti-2nd amendment trash in general said no one uses modern sporting rifles for hunting? If it didn't piss off part of their base then they would be telling people that owning guns makes them gay if they thought being labeled a homosexual would deter people from owning guns. Anti-2nd amendment trash are extremely dishonest when it comes to firearms. Sure there are people out there who genuinely don't know the difference between a clip and a magazine and don't know that 5.56 round is weak compared to other rounds. But those people are not forum posters who regularly post in the gun control forums where they have been informed countless times regarding firearms by people who actually know something about firearms. Nor are they politicians who have aides and even constituents that inform them on the subject of firearms.Nor are they journalists who research various subjects in order to write news stories about them.
 
Bloomberg is just completely ****ing ignorant on firearms...and its his signature issue.

 
Keep this clip handy for as long as Bloomberg is on the big stage. Its critical that people see just how stupid he is on this subject and how much he has dedicated to fighting something he LITERALLY hasnt the first clue about.

post 6 I should have noted a certain amount of sarcasm as far as her being reputable. She's far from it, yet she acts like a know it all some kind of expert. I really do like these so called experts including De Leon that try to remember a few phrases and screw them up. FUBAR comes to mind.

There aren't too many recognized experts in Congress though and it's always best to be able to quote an impartial and respected source.
I'm somewhat of an expert and I'm not in Congress. Is there a law saying Congressmen can't look up something in a book or do a Goggle search?

Two way street. You and Co. would no longer beleive an NRA reference then we would believe one from EVERYTOWN.
And best not to post a link to an anonymous blog either with a credibility that can't be determined.
Only if there is a link to a credible site.

From what I hear college lecturers are a little short o reputable sources.

LOL! So she just listens to the left wing talking points and governs from that.

If there is, it doesn't apply to Trump

I wouldn't expect you to believe a post from a lobby group with an obvious political agenda, certainly not without checking any facts first.

Only if there is a link to a credible site.

Then quote the credible site

Many people will decry a Wiki reference but usually they do a good job giving references.

Good dodge as always. What does this have to do with Trump? Other than your dodge.

I do check, you really ought to try it sometime.

Then quote the credible site
What Blog am I quoting? How can I quote a site in some Blog when I have no idea wtf you are talking about?

Many people will decry a Wiki reference but usually they do a good job giving references.
Still not knowing what you are talking about.

Guessing you are anti gun today?

Because no politician in America lies as much as he does and he's in favor of the 2nd amendment


So if it's a dodge to cite Trump, it's a dodge to cite any Democratic politician

It seems, like most gun owners, you have two sets of standards


I do check, you really ought to try it sometime.

All the time, especially if alluded to by a gun owner, though they seem to be short on substantiating their personal opinions


What Blog am I quoting?

What was that about checking ?


No-one said you did quote from a blog

Feeling embarrassed now Mr Check Everything ?


Still not knowing what you are talking about.

Wikipedia. It's a popular on-line encyclopedia. I'm surprised you act like you've never heard of it.

Anyway it is often decried for accuracy but whatever your view on this, it is a good source od references which it clearly lists at the bottom of the page.



Guessing you are anti gun today?

Anti private gun ownership
