"America was the real bad guy in WW2 because this holocaust denial website says so"- Forums user Tezzor.

Actually, America was not the bad guy in WWII, but its decision to drop nuclear weapons on civilian populations was an indisputably evil and unnecessary act that cannot be justified by any coherent factual or moral argument, and, as this is true, the only thing that mass murder apologists can seize on is that I unknowingly used a bad source among many, and bring it up solely in an attempt to drag my moral stance down to their slavering, subhuman level; not because it disputes anything I said, or because it makes any of their own arguments stronger, but because as blood-crazed cave goblins who enjoy making excuses for mass murder, they inherently dislike moral righteousness. Pretty severe error you made here.

There's an interesting discontinuity here. The gun advocate argues that guns are necessary for self-defense, but also accepts that certain people, such as the mentally ill and convicted felons, should not have access to guns. Thus, they should not be allowed to defend themselves. Indeed, given that the gun advocate argues that police will not defend you, this is really saying that it's okay to do whatever you want to someone with depression, or who was convicted for stealing a car, because they have no right to defend themselves against you, and no one will defend them. Either guns aren't really necessary for self-defense, and gun advocates are lying, or suffering from a mental illness makes you subhuman. I'm sure the conservatives, well aware that this is one of the few chances they will have to freak out the squares, will go for the latter, or else squeak about how liberals are fat, gay, women, work blue-collar jobs if at all, etc. And the rest will call this a shitpost, because talking back to missionaries is morally wrong. You're supposed to sit back and be converted.

Anyone released from jail should be able to have their rights restored. Anyone incapable of having their rights restored (Likely to reoffend, have reoffended many times, completely loving nuts, etc.) should be held until such time as they are capable of rejoining society with full rights.

Generally speaking, our mentally ill populace should be in some sort of supervised treatment if they're incapable of taking care of themselves and engaging safely in all their rights, up until they are capable. Should they never reach such a point, they should be in a state where they are protected by someone else from threats external and internal.



I just don't know where all the money will come from to pay for all this supervision. Legalize weed and tax it like cigarettes and I bet you'd come up with like... a third of the cash in a week.

This doesn't really address the substance, you know. Either self-defense is an absolute right and felons should get guns back on release and suicidal people should have all the guns they want, or self-defense can be abrogated, or guns are not necessary for self-defense. Those are your only choices, and derailing about how depressed people should be put into camps won't get you out of it.

The better question is: why do gun haters resort to attacking party politics when discussing the specific issue of gun control? It's almost like the idea of being the group that wants to limit personal freedoms/rights causes you to break down and scream about the big bad Republicans. It would be easier to admit that you're all closiet racists.

Now to focus on your the words in your post, that I read.

The NRA does more to encourage domestic terrorism than Anwar al-Awlaki ever did

For this example we will assume that Anwar al-Awlaki did absolutely nothing to encourage domestic terrorism, as that is the least amount of encouragement possible.

To encourage domestic terrorism more than zero, they must have done something, anything at all, to encourage domestic terrorism. I am asking you what that is.
