Guns: how much longer will it take ....

Quote:

When did pistol grips become an issue?

That happened the moment someone arbitrarily decided that it was one of the items that qualified a rifle to be banned. In the case of this thread, it became an issue when infrablue, among others, arbitrarily decided that a pistol-grip makes a rifle especially dangerous by increasing its accuracy and rate of fire. She made that up. When asked to provide something to support her claim, she fared no better than the others. However, she took it even further by desperately declaring that such a question was a strawman argument.

To her credit, she did finally admit that she hadn't proved her claim. Nevertheless, to her discredit, she insisted that though she hadn't proved it, she could have if she had wanted to.

what item in combination with that pistol-grip prompts you to call for the banning of that rifle?

You took your issue of pistol grips and diverted this thread about guns with it; that's what made your pistol grip issue a straw man argument. Your straw man argument also made your issue a red herring, although you seem to be unaware of it.

That is incorrect. When you demand a law that outlaws pistol grips, you are the one who makes the topic all about pistol grips.

Go back and see who started this tangent about pistol grips.

By the way, I'm male.

You asked me. Heh, are you referring to me in the third person?

Are you not demanding the reinstatement of the 1994 law against supposed "assault weapons"?

No no no!

To which I responded:

Sounds like another claim. I would think that you would have by now learned that when you make a claim, you're going to be asked to prove it. So is this going to be like your unproven claim that a pistol-grip makes a rifle especially dangerous by increasing its accuracy and rate of fire, or are you actually going to fetch me the post in which I injected the subject of pistol-grips into this topic.

So what about it? You gonna change pace and actually support a claim here?

Anyway, you started something that you couldn't finish; that being your claim that a pistol-grip makes a rifle especially dangerous by increasing its accuracy and rate of fire. You made that claim before even finding out if it were true. But now you know it's not true.

Of course, you are always free to claim that though you haven't proven it, you could prove it if you wanted to, but you just can't be bothered to do so. Oh wait, you actually did claim that. Another unproven claim . . .

I don't know if anyone ever raised 13 year old girls or boys, but this is the same silly bullshit argument they try to use to distract you.........

Maybe we can all just agree that we are too stupid as a nation to even dream up a rational to protect our children.

Oh well, who cares???

Lets just concentrate on punishing everything else....

who really cares how many young children are shot in their classrooms.

What's your solution?

Then I correctly described what you are demanding. That law outlaws pistol grips on semi-auto rifles.

What't the other unproven claim, exactly? That I can't be bothered to do so? Consider it proved. I cannot be bothered to to so, maybe some time in the future.

That law outlaws combinations of features which include pistol grips.

Sure. On this thread you started by falsely accusing farmerman of opposing a rifle because of it's style (pistol grip).
