If it's being done for intimidation, then it wouldn't be concealed. Logic fail.

False equivalencies are rightwing talking points. yallerdawg Jan 2017 #22
Collective indictments, such as you articulated in post #1, are a right wing characteristic. Marengo Jan 2017 #26
Right wing and radical left. Hortensis Jan 2017 #37
You should check out our 2016 Democratic Party Platform. yallerdawg Jan 2017 #46
You can question courteously. Hortensis Jan 2017 #49
The Party platform condemns every American gun owner as desiring to be mass killer? Marengo Jan 2017 #52
When you go to buy a gun... yallerdawg Jan 2017 #56
The majority of American gun owners have a desire to shoot people? Marengo Jan 2017 #63
The majority of Americans own guns for protection. yallerdawg Jan 2017 #64
They have a strong feeling of wishing for that to happen? Marengo Jan 2017 #83
Post #83 is patiently awaiting an answer. Marengo Jan 2017 #103

How is a mass killer in a truck a "false equivalency" to a mass killer with a gun? EX500rider Jan 2017 #34
Doesn't fit his narrative. yagotme Jan 2017 #39
Yeah, we need to have "Truck Violence" websites... yallerdawg Jan 2017 #43

Guns are specifically designed to kill. guillaumeb Jan 2017 #51
And yet a vehicle, used as a weapon, killed 86 in a single event. Fairly effective for something... Marengo Jan 2017 #54
Which says nothing about intended use, and design intent. guillaumeb Jan 2017 #87
Design intent is irrelevant from a public safety perspective. Now that has been established that... Marengo Jan 2017 #104
Again, design intent is the only relevant issue from a public safety perspective. guillaumeb Jan 2017 #109
And yet 4 more were just killed by something not designed as a weapon being used as a weapon. Marengo Jan 2017 #115
You are ignoring my point. guillaumeb Jan 2017 #119
How about answering my question? What am I to infer from your refusal to do so? Marengo Jan 2017 #120
You might infer whatever you wish to infer. guillaumeb Jan 2017 #121
And now you may post a link to where I've said such a thing, or retract. If you have the integrity. Marengo Jan 2017 #122
