Kevin, point to the part in Scott’s post where he “paints” anti-gun as ban all guns. It doesn’t exist.

I did already. This scenario makes it seem like those for gun control would take away this vulnerable woman's weapon. Gun control means she would be licensed, have a background check, ideally some training, not that she wouldn't be allowed to own a handgun.pic.twitter.com/x8uhF7DXLP

The quote refers to the most extreme among them. That is clearly stated. And that includes a retired Supreme Court justice, the DNC #2 person, and many of the marchers.

I agree that it is most extreme among them. When your article speaks of the 'fake gun control debate', and the only scenario you give is one you admit is extreme, you've intentionally misdirected the reader to the intentions of the majority. Again, it's disingenuous.

Is clear labeling the same as misdirecting? I called out the distinction you are making in clear language.

The post presents itself as crediting/blaming both sides equally for faulty arguments, which is fine. No matter how much you label it, only discussing one scenario that is an extreme and hardly realistic scenario frames the story in a disingenuous way. It's actually hypocritical.

The example given is that a gun stopped a crime. No individual anecdote represents the whole, but the point is clear and unambiguous: Sometimes a gun stops violence. You have to try hard to miss that point.

You're trying awfully hard to miss the point that in an article where you accuse others of misrepresenting the two sides of the gun control argument, you only covered one scenario that you admit was an extreme, ergo you are part of the problem here.

Did I need to list more examples to make the point that sometimes a gun stops a crime? Writing doesn't work that way. Once the point is clear, one moves on.

That a gun stopped a crime wasn't the only point. You state the anti gun folks would accept a world in which your friend would not have been able to have a gun. This is a far fetched, extreme scenario, and you admitted as much.

You just went full Cathy Newman, so I will accept your total intellectual surrender and move on.

This is you admitting the story was an extreme example. If you're going to argue against yourself it might be fun for a bitpic.twitter.com/a4tKCZlIWD
