Political Crossfire Forums

Gun free zone = soft targets. Its like a "kick me" sign to the bad guy's.

Actually, Medius, this is what I said:

"It means that your perspective has been warped by propaganda that does not exist elsewhere. In addition, your fundamental understanding of the issue will always be flawed, because the US legal system has a huge and well-developed mythology regarding weapons and rights, which itself is based upon thinking that was discredited almost as soon as it was developed (natural rights philosophy)."

You have, over the course of this discussion, admitted that everything in that paragraph is true, and yet you insist I'm wrong about it. It's totally nonsensical and EXACTLY what I'm referencing in my statement. You've even gone so far as to follow the exact pattern of debate I've outlined above. Assert something as a right, admit it isn't a right but instead something agreed to by people, assert reasons why people might agree with supporting the historical gun right mythology of the US, be shown those reasons are either irrelevant or outright false, revert back to appeal to authority.

And you're going to do it again here. "But the US Constitution..." But the US Constitution isn't the guiding document of political discussion and referencing it to justify a law is still just a fallacy.

Edit: haha, yup, called it.
