dude, you're literally following me around making snarky remarks in every thread i post in right now, it's rather obvious you're a bit emotional at the moment. all i'm saying is give it a rest, there's no need to become another excrements.

no one follows you (thank goodness) anywhere goebbels the third. this is an American-based website people are free to post where they please unlike in your smalltime town

not even remotely true. apart from the abysmal training, and toxic culture of the american police force, one of the main reasons for the unacceptable amount of deadly police shootings is that thanks to america's gun obsession, every person is a potentially lethal threat to them at any given moment. a main reason why cops are so scared and trigger-happy.

Because people scream for guns to be banned when cops murder civilians? It doesn't happen. It's like you want to disagree for the sake of disagreeing, and you can't even do that right. You completely failed to address the corollary being described.

it's more like you don't want to engage arguments that don't follow your biased framing, intended to downplay the drawbacks of america's obsession with guns.

what i said is 100% true, police killings are certainly in part caused by that, and people regularly point that out. just because it doesn't fit your propagandist meme format, doesn't make it untrue...

Well, yeah. Maybe because logic is a speciality of mine.

I am not interested in the drawbacks. I am entirely aware they exist. They are the price we pay.

Staying on topic isn't "lazy." Only important to you.

For liberty. More freedom, less safe. Liberty isn't about safety.
