Reply #115: Those silly syllogisms get in the way of a good rant [View All]

[Liberal Classic]

Some benevolent governments restrict gun ownership, such as Australia, but some totalitarian dictatorships do the same, such as Cambodia under Pol Pot. Is gun control right because Australia has it, or is it wrong because Cambodia had it? Just because one government enforces a ban on firearms does not make it right or wrong. You're drawing a conclusion without having established a premise.

You can gratify yourself all you want claiming people who oppose gun control are racist, but it doesn't prove your point. There are valid reasons for supporting restrictions to the ownership of weapons but you don't seem to advocate them.

Great! You're always good for a laugh. :)
