Fellow Bostonians: How many of us wished we had an assault weapon last night?

Quote:

Oh, I’m keeping up quite well with this straw man of yours

No, you are not keeping up. You have declared that a pistol-grip and flash suppressor makes a rifle especially dangerous. Asking you to explain your rationale for making such a claim is not a strawman argument. You said it, and I'm asking you to back up that claim.

I’ve never said anything about “turning a rifle into something more than a rife.”

Yeah ya did. You said that a pistol-grip and a flash suppressor makes a rifle especially dangerous. That means you believe that a little shift of the wrist when holding a rifle does something. You're being asked to tell us what you think that something is. In other words, define the term "especially dangerous."

In other words, define the term "especially dangerous."

Same with the flash suppressor. You don't seem to understand that murders--even mass murders--committed with a rifle are done at close range. Hiding their location and intention is not anywhere on the shooter's list of priorities.

Come on. You're playing word games here. His phrase "something more than a rifle" and your phrase "especially dangerous" convey the same meaning.

Your wrongness continues unabated.

Nope. I'm not wrong about anything. You cannot provide any motivation for outlawing pistol grips other than the fact that progressives enjoy violating people's civil liberties.

You also cannot provide any evidence that any of these features make a weapon especially dangerous.

You have been attributing a statement to me that I have not made.

Jeez, reread the response you're quoting.

The specific features make the weapons especially dangerous.

Yeah, that's Glennn's rational, as well, for the military implementing some of these features in their weaponry, "'cause it gives the willies."

What is it about gun nuts and willies?

So then, why does the military implement these features in their weaponry?

You have a weird fascination. Every time it's mentioned out you come screaming about how it's not the case at all.

Why do you feel the need to constantly go on about it?

You don't have to answer that, we all know why.

You are so predictable. There's two posters on A2K who go crazy whenever penis size is mentioned. You are one of them. I won't name the other one because that wouldn't be fair, btw, he's not a gun nut.

This is something I found out a long time ago when I was teaching at a boys school. The boy who goes ballistic when another kid calls his mum a whore is the one whose mum's on the game.

None of the other kids gave a ****.

You couldn't be more obvious if you'd had your forehead tattooed.
