Permits would still be an option and there would be stronger penalties for people barred from carrying.

    They are right. Your method is counter productive to your goals. I find it best to frame the opponents position in terms they would agree with. If you can’t get them to agree to what they are even defending then they are either a troll or you fundamentally misunderstand their position. And in either of these cases no communication is possible. In fact you risk a backfire effect.

    You aren’t arguing with this person. You are arguing with the person you want to argue with. One you made up.

    I’m a person with a concealed carry permit in South Carolina and you are harming the cause you are trying to help. Please find a new tactic that doesn’t involve projection. Because your cause is my cause and you are being so bad at supporting it that I don’t want to be tied to your cause in any way.

      The funny thing is I’m not even completely anti-gun. I’ve owned a few in my life, and ended up having to sell them for financial reasons though. And I actually would have been more than happy to have a true discussion about how something like this could hurt marginalized groups because when it comes down to it that actually is an aspect I didn’t think about. Is it actual point for debate.

      But there’s no point attempting to have a discussion with a person like him. He’s a little ball of hatred and negativity that’s incapable of a simple conversation.
