Gun Control & RKBA

(6,185 posts)47. Oh you mean when you don't have any proof, just make shit up
        That's one of the most popular gun control fan strategies.
Of course you never achieve anything out there in the real world, but I'm sure it makes you feel all warm, fuzzy and self righteous for confronting those "Evil Gun Owners" online. Boy, you sure told 'em!
But I bet you, nor any of your ilk, will be marching against Gun violence in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago, where 10 were killed Monday?
Much easier to just pose and rant online than ever do anything out where the violence is real.

        Reuters is virulently anti-gun.  THAT'S the reason she expected "gun control" to be more important

        No, but gratuitous mention of dead children is. It's known as 'appealing to emotion' or Lovejoying:
