    Well, three of them are construction workers, and one is a kid misusing a tool, is what you want me to say.

    Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Great job.

    Hey you know what has never happened to me? I have never been attacked by people in sheer terror when I handled a multimeter during a riot. Funny story I did have to go to a customer site very close to a BLM protest. No problems, guess when you are holding tools in your hand and have a hardhat on you are invisible as you present zero threat. Some people are trying to keep civilization going and others are waving guns around, what can I say.

    Fine but yeah let me engage with your “argument”. As I noted before the use cases for a gun are an almost invisibly small fraction of what they actually get used for. For every guy out there who needs to use one to hunt or will starve there about 1 million out there who are wannabe tough guys with small dicks or school shooters. When something is used as a weapon 99.999999% of the time it is not a tool.

      And weapons are tools. We’ve come full circle. Appeal to emotions all you want. That’s all your argument boils down to. It’s fuckin hilarious to me that you seem to think this argument is about whether or not guns are a good thing. That’s NEVER been the argument here. Guns aren’t good or bad, they’re simply tools. Treat them with respect and seek actual understanding, and maybe we can actually effectively regulate them.

            No. An AR-15 is not in the same category of a claw hammer.

              You clearly don’t care to listen to any of the heaps of evidence that points to the contrary. If you’re not arguing with the intention of actually hearing anything your opposition is saying, why argue? Just like wasting time?

                  Because you choose not to look. That’s the whole point. You refuse to engage with anything.
