Glad I got into collecting weaponry before the few ruined it for the many. Last summer I spent around 3500.00 total on :

Stag Arms model 3 plus (AR15)
Arsenal Inc SLR106 (5.56 version of a AK74)
Century Converted Saiga 7.62x39 (AKM)
Glock 17(9mm)
Ruger 10/22 ITAC Talo edition(22LR)

And atleast 7-10 high capacity magazines for each. (the evil 30+ rounders that slay innocent people)
Right now this list would cost 7500.00 to 10k. The ban will increase their value 10 fold atleast.

Ban is dumb btw.

Got the Arsenal AK with the MI rail kit, getting the Trijicon RMR for it soon.

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."

I don't even know what this thread is about any more.

Well now it's just stubborn people arguing for the sake of argument.

That includes me.

Nah, I like to call it social exercise.
This is important stuff, here.

I know.

Of course what you said changed his position. To claim it is not one thing is not to claim that it is everything else.

straw man

an opponent takes the original argument of his/her adversary and then offers a close imitation, or straw man, version of the original argument;

he "knocks down" the straw man version of the argument (because the straw man, as its name implies, is a much easier target to hit, undermine, etc.)

-- and thereby gives the appearance of having successfully countered/overcome/answered the original argument.


I didn't do that.

At best I made a fail attempt to be witty. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sure you did. "Everything but X" is a close imitation of, but not the same as "not X."

[Humerox]

Then you and I understand straw man arguments differently.
