I'm for calling out assholes that tell minorities that they are the reason black kids get shot in the face.

That's a very disingenuous way of casting the argument. It has nothing to do with minorities, only with gun owners and supporters of gun ownership in general, regardless of race.

No it's not disingenuous. Bi_tux is a minority. Agitator told him that he's the reason black kids get shot in the face. Bi_tux needs a gun in response to the hostility and violence of bigots. Ignoring bi_tux's minority status and original statement because it's inconvenient is kinda disingenuous though.

Bi_tux (or any other minorities) having guns or not isn't the cause of bigots shooting black kids in the face for ringing a doorbell.

Yes, actually, it is. You either support gun rights and gun ownership or you don't. If you do, you contribute to kids getting shot in the face. Minority status is irrelevant.

Oh contribute is different than being the cause. Like I said from the beginning. So no. No disingenuousness. Just poor reading skills on your part.

Lol. My part. Right. Nice job arguing semantics after all your other bullshit. I'm done with this conversation.

[–] magnusrufus 1 points 1 year ago

Semantics? It's in my first comment. You were never trying to have a conversation. Being done is a good idea because if you actually did try to have a conversation your ideas probably wouldn't hold up and I'm getting the impression that you lack the emotional maturity to handle that.
