talkpoliticsA gunman opened fire at a gay bar in Orlando, Florida late last night. As of writing this, there are reports of 50 dead so far with many more injured. The shooter has been identified as Omar Mateen, and reports as of right now suggest he may have been on some FBI terror watchlists and may have declared an allegiance or sympathies to ISIS, which would make this the most deadly terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11.

Yeah, please do explain this to me.

Another strawman.
I see. When you run out of arguments, all you've got is fallacious rhetorical tricks. You're not interested in a real debate. So why should I further waste even a minute of my time with this nonsense?

Date: 15/6/16 18:59 (UTC)Still, looks like you were hinting at something in this phrase "As for "evidence", your spread-sheet shows only two occasions of mass shootings that occurred in "Not Gun Free Zones". Do you even know what a "NOT gun free zone" means?". Care to explain it?
And yeah, I'm talking straight here, no rhetorics. Unlike some others.

Date: 14/6/16 20:03 (UTC)Look, if you're going to derail the conversation, at least do some effort to pretend that you're doing it more subtly. Other people have been warned before against the continuous and deliberate use of strawman. Now you are, too. If you want a debate, have one. If you're just going to troll people, find some other place.
