ban on assault weapons and 10 round clip limit

[Neckbeard]

not to mention cocksucker

I wonder if I could have a more intelligent debate on facebook.

It was said by someone. Me

Here's a straw man.

Person A has position X.
Person B presents position Y (which is a distorted version of X).
Person B attacks position Y.
Therefore X is false/incorrect/flawed

Here's what happened.

Again, it's not the guns, it's the nuts.

And I say it's the nuts with access to guns that make it easy to kill a lot of other people really fast.

I can see where you'd make that jump...but what I did is not a straw man because I never changed his position and then attacked the altered position.

It may be difficult to understand the difference between a straw man and what I did...but keep at it.

I know my gun has some nuts always hanging around.

[Vellatri]

I wasn't referring to that line.

[Humerox]

His position was that it's not the guns, it's the nuts.

Saying that he believes it's everything except guns changes his position how?

[Lexical]

Those damn nuts always grabbing on to a man's gun. No respect.

[Vellatri]

Easy. The "it" he was referring to is "what needs to be stopped." Saying "nuts, not guns, need to be stopped" is not the same as saying "everything but guns need to be stopped."

[Humerox]

But that was my argument. Not his.

I used a convulated his argument in making mine...I didn't change his position one bit.

A straw man requires that I change his position and attack a position that he never had.

I didn't do that.

Nope, you just made it seem like all nuts use guns to kill people and without guns those nuts wouldn't kill people.

Just as retarded.
