@wilbr @jannamark @MissSnarkerson Not really. The assault weapons ban is perhaps the definitive liberal strategy. A shooting happens, then liberals pas a ban on “assault weapons” which are defined in some bizzare and trivial way. Then gun manufacturers very slightly tweak their guns so that none of them are “assault weapons” anymore. Then more shootings happen. Wash, rinse, repeat.

The fact that liberals keep trying it makes me think they actually enjoy failure.

@rotatingskull you know who else enjoys failure? {Negative adjective} {outgroup}s! #lol #{outgroup}tards

@wilbr uh huh. so you’re in the South Park camp of nobody should have ideas. Got it.

@rotatingskull no, just the "false generalizations ruin discourse and make people hate you" crowd.

@wilbr Pretty sure the idea that liberals support assault weapons bans is not a false generalization. It’s basically the only thing they took a stand on in the last five years.

@rotatingskull critique of weapons legislation isn't why I jumped into this thread. Blanket statements about "you liberals" which presume to know the affiliations of the people you're arguing with is. It's clear that you're not just mad about gun policy, you're mad at anyone who even vaguely smells like a liberal to you. Otherwise your tone would be far less combative and generalizations far less overt.

@rotatingskull in other words: you're not arguing in good faith or contributing to dialogue, you're starting shit and then doubling down when people call you out. You're not here to change minds, you're here to show off how right your particular ideology is.

@wilbr Your ideology is that ideology is dumb and you’re showing it off pretty hard right now.

@rotatingskull that's actually not my ideology, but your ideology of swiftly and angrily strawmanning others is on full display. Good night, please troll elsewhere.
