Quote from 124nic8 : I thought that was rhetorical. This is a real conversation. We're in at least partial agreement that LaPierre lied.

If its a real conversation you should recognize his statements as part of oratory rhetoric and move on.

Feinstein has said, “Military-style assault weapons have but one purpose, and in my view that’s a military purpose, to hold at the hip, possibly, to spray fire to be able to kill large numbers.”

A doctor friend of mine has one that he uses for target shooting. It has never killed anyone. Does this mean you agree that Feinstein is lying? Since it is clear that 100% of these weapons aren't used exactly as Feinstein suggests then you must agree that she is lying.

Your comment about LaPierre is just as ridiculous. Since you said you want to have a conversation, not just troll the thread the first step would be to drop the hyperbole and stick with reasonable points of discussion. It's clear that LaPierre is suggesting that having guns available would be the most effective way to stop this sort of thing. Unless you are suggesting that throwing phones at mass shooters is a more effective approach we would have no choice but to assume you are taking the conversation and thus the people whom you are conversing with seriously. So if you are trolling, so be it. If you want to have a serious conversation the first step is to stop insulting us with posts such as the one you made, retract it and reformulate the point into something along the lines of say, "Are guns in school the only effective solution" or "Would guns actually be an effective solution?"
