A really stupid pro gun argument…

Warren is probably a Bentley sock. He shares many of the same irrational viewpoints as our beloved professor.
There's one very simple way to counter their lame counter argument, and that's to point to the success of many belligerents who've employed guerrilla tactics using small arms and improvized explosives. The Russian partizans, in WWII, made progress difficult and costly for the Germans. There was Vietnam in the sixties, which was so costly for America we had to withdraw. Then Afghanistan for Russia, and then the West, followed by Iraq. Then look at Syria today.
Idiots who think nuclear weapons and heavy ordnance win warns are, well, idiots. That kind of technology wins battles, perhaps, but it sends the enemy underground. Ultimately, it makes them impossible to defeat, with every attempt to do so simply increasing their sense of righteousness, thus swelling their ranks.
There's real danger around the corner, though. If we don't put the right controls in place soon (tighten up the voting system, win the argument on free speech and liberty), we're all ****ed when the next generation of AI and robotics arrive. No matter how well armed or determined we are, we'll have no chance against a more intelligent, non-human adversary.

I am not a sock of anyone and I don't know or remember Bentley and his posting style.
It is not the first time and place I have been accused of a sock account.
Sometimes two posters just share in the same values and expressions which are similar.
OK so you are FFS!
I have heard of how notorious you are and your post fits in with your reputation which as far as I know hasn't been very positive. -

And that pro gun president encouraged his pro gun crowd to storm the Capitol in a coup attempt which thankfully failed.
I know this is just simply trolling by you but can't you see the metaphysical aspect to a troll proper?
It's a real shame, an understandable one though, that someone died as January 6th would have been the height of trolling for all of humanity
But now it's calling it a coup that is the trolling, a real cheap shot against a well polished shield of diamond.

It was all sorts of things.
Coup attempt.
Insurrection.
Riot.
A take over of the electoral process.
Storming the Capitol.
Take your pick.
They all amount to the same thing which was not a picnic or a tourist visit. -

We are splitting hairs here and I wanna get back on topic of gun control and how wrong the gun nuts are with at least one of their arguments. -

I have retired from gun control arguments here, because I find them pointless, both sides are too baked in and there's too much bs floating around on the internet that even semi-literate retards like Soul Venom can latch onto, but your argument would be stronger if you advocated for stricter control and not banning all or most guns. You are playing into their hands with that argument.
Many industrialized countries haven't banned most firearms they just make it take longer and more onerous to get one, which has a remarkable and surprising impact on many violent people, who often clearly have little impulse control in the first place, and/or a history of violence,which prevents them from easily obtaining firearms if you make a clean record a requirement.
The libertarians here still don't like that argument; fair enough.
Anyway, I am leaving it there.
