    Democrats want bans. Republicans want as much access as possible.

    Can you elaborate? This is demonstrably false so I figured I’d give you the opportunity to explain what you meant with such a ridiculously simplistic and nonsensical statement.

      It’s a generalization but absolutely true. I’m not going to get drawn into a “aha! But this one Republican dude in New Hampshire supports restrictions on guns therefore you are wrong” bullshit fest.

        Sounds like you think truth is just a feeling. I tend to look for collections of objective facts to garner truth but I get that your way is less challenging.

          If I suspected you might be actually conversing in good faith, I’d expend the effort. But I’ve seen this kind of rhetorical trap before. It’s not quite sealioning, but similar.

            Yet you’ll expend the effort to explain why you won’t expend any effort to make an actual point- lol.

            I’m starting to think maybe you don’t know what you’re talking about at all ;)

              Big difference between saying “ha I’m not falling for that” and finding sources. The former requires little effort.
