flaming lib: I used to try to engage them in useful discussion but it always goes immediately to denial, obfuscation and logical fallacy. One of them even claims that Moms Demand Action is a CIA style psyops operation and that all the demonstrators are paid operatives.

Good post, lib, you hitta da nail, onna da head!
I'm still going at it with them tho, adversarial polemics I kinda enjoy when it comes to exposing mythologies like the 2nd amendment mythology & the misconceptions which arise willy nilly perforce on the rkba board, esp history.

FL: I don't bother with them anymore, it's like debating right to life or born again Christianity. Can't be done

... Ha, on that I kinda agree too - I generally exclude arguing religion - don't wanna go there since it has pluses & minuses & it preaches non violence, not much more worrisome than football fans (erk).

Welcome back Bill!
