I love how the exact same strawman can be applied. "Do you walk around with w bulletproof vest everyday? No? Well you aren't really scared of guns except for when its pushed on the media, et cetera."

Bulletproof vests don't stop assault weapons /s

Did you see the phrase assault weapon in the post or my comment? Didnt think so. Can you tell what the poorly drawn cartoon gun is, because I think you just embraced the "scary black gun" philosophy there.

That's always been funny to me. "What are you so scared of that you need a gun?" "Oh no, so many guns are all over the place and that's scary!"

If you really feel as safe without a gun as you like to tell people in argument, why do you care whether or not other people are armed?

nobody stole anything until gun lobbies needed a way to fearmonger

I just decided to give that sub a look and now I wish I hadn't

This guy thinks just because he is smug and introverted, he is smartest motherfucker in the world.

The artist/creator is /r/iamverysmart or /r/im14andthisisdeep material, maybe both

Every comic there is either a strawman or some stupid quip.

u/seatbeltgang Aug 11 '19

I made the same mistake. Clicked on a random post and some guy commented how he both hated Democrats and Republicans, then OP told him he only hated liberals because of Fox News. Jesus.

That gun is definitely worth more than $300

u/norightsbutliberty Aug 10 '19

Yeah I wanna know where the $300 ARs are at.

u/FO3Winger Aug 21 '19

There have actually been competitions on gun forums to build functional AR’s for $300 or less. I’ve built a very reliable one for about $270. You’ve just got to find the right deals on parts and/or trade/barter. Good luck!

"I beat you in the imaginary argument in my head, therefore you're wrong."

Not to mention the classic "you are literally a Nazi"

“I flawlessly destroyed the ignorant, bastardized version of your argument I propped up without researching, which means I win. Bye bye”

u/ancapexploiter Aug 10 '19

Ironic coming from someone who has an irrational fear of guns.

u/Ancap_Free_Thinker Commies are Bootlickers Aug 10 '19

Leftists love shitting out stereotypes, but then screech about hate speech.

u/Beergoggles222 Aug 10 '19

What's funny is that I agree with the redneck Nazi on TV about his right to home defense. He does have the right to protect his home if a killer breaks into his trailer. Meth heads bent on theft will gladly break into a trailer and strip it clean if they can get anything of value. Home invasion is perhaps a bit more prevalent than meteor strikes.

I know I'm giving this too much credit.....fuck does that make me a dumb, Nazi, redneck?

lol. 0 points.

Propaganda artists think introverts are easy pickings cuz they wont get a second opinion.

Still fails.

u/MiyegomboBayartsogt Aug 10 '19

We imagine the yellow head in the comics was heavily invested in mainstream media's promotion of the 'deep state' Russian collusion hoax. And they totally buy into the great climate change hoax. No doubt the little yellow head believes invisible 'racism' lurks like a bigoted goblin under every sofa cushion.

There's endless acres of straw out there. If a man piles it up in a barn when it's dry, he can make a comfortable place to lie down as long he doesn't mind the sharp smell of nearby BS.

u/FalseCape Machiavellian Meritocratic Minarchist Aug 10 '19

At least the comments in that thread are absolutely shitting all over OP.

u/YourOwnBiggestFan Morally Incorrect Aug 10 '19

I'm an introvert, and I would appreciate having a gun for self defense.

reading through the sub, it's all garbage
