24. pretentious babbling

beevul: The problem for you, jimmy, is that gun owners do NOT typically direct their guns to kill, according to the definitions above.

I'm getting really annoyed having to spoonfeed some childish biased mentality about the meanings of words, & having to listen to insidious misunderstandings & subsequent twistings of what I write.
To quickly rebut your persistent pretentious babbling, the text sequence:

Jimmy wrote: When used as directed, guns kill (see also, hunting, accidental firearm deaths, military history).
beevul: As directed by whom, Jimmy? {ie, in context: who 'directs' those guns to kill, when they do kill}
Jimmy: Typically Gun Owners...
beevul: There are 300+ million guns owned 80+ million people, and yet there are 10 thousandish homicides.... So "typical" gun owners, are NOT directing their firearms as you claim

So you see, JA, that I never contended that typical gun owners en masse are doing mass killings; rather I said, to your concern who directs those guns that do kill, to kill, are typically gun owners. Which is a big fat DUH. Somewhen they kill, non-gun owners generally do not kill with guns, but with other weapons.

beevul: typically -1 :generally or normally — used to say what normally happens
2:in the usual way — used to describe what is normal or expected of a certain place, person, situation, etc.
beevul: Next time, make sure you understand the meanings of the larger words, before you use them.

transparent smoke screen, juvenile ad hominem. When used as directed, guns kill, & when they do kill they are typically (generally) directed by gun owners, whether criminal, hunters, or law abiding.
