Arming fucking school teachers should be automatically dismissed, you fucking psychopaths. It should not need to be explained why putting guns in schools around children is a stupid, horribly dangerous idea whose risks far, far outweigh the benefits. Jesus fucking Christ.

Only a good student with a gun can stop a bad teacher with a gun.

They also conspicuously dismiss the immense collateral damage that would result from everybody being armed at all times.

Playing devil’s advocate for these dishonest shitbag vampires, I believe they’d argue that in a “concealed carry” society, people would be afraid that anybody and everybody could be armed.

“This whole racist narrative about white supremacy/ black inferiority was invented after the fact. ... In any event, no one cares what color poor people are.” 

If this were the 1960s, you say? Pretty sure you get Limbaugh in private company he’d have plenty of “ideas” for how we should treat “the blacks.”

The other angle I saw that from is that Limbaugh is so incredibly selfish that he’s fine with something that he alleges would ruin the country — amnesty for illegals, letting them vote, etc. — so long as it happens after he is presumably dead in two to three more decades.

Every Republican is complicit. Utah Republicans — Mormon or not — will get in line when Trump and Republicans ring the bell.

Bret Stephens is doing the thing that conservatives do where they take a liberal buzzword that’s actually being meaningfully used and then pound it into the ground in the most tangential contexts possible to render it meaningless. The most notable example is how they’ve tried to co-opt “racist,” usually with the…

To borrow a page from the gun fetishists: How many people have used a video game to commit mass murder? If 99.99% of video game enthusiasts manage to play violent video games without committing murder ... maybe video games aren’t the problem?

“Anyone disturbed enough to do this would simply find one on the black market. I don’t know the right answer to stop school shootings, but I do know gun control will not stop them.”

Well said. Whenever somebody tries out the “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” line, my simple retort is always, “but usually it’s people with guns killing people.”

I’ve seen that same talking point on Twitter and other forums in the last 24 hours. Apparently the idea that mass shootings happen because people, and particularly children, aren’t trained to handle guns? or something? is very popular among the neo-fascists.

True. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t both a homosexual and a Nazi.

I’ve heard that one before. Usually in the context of someone suggesting we ban or regulate the AR-15, then the gun nazis start the pedantic inquisition about “Well, which version of the AR-15? There’s many variations blah blah blah looks like it’s impossible, maybe we should go after mental illness or single mothers…

Bullshit. Bernie Sanders has a D grade from the NRA, and this was his statement immediately after the shooting:

The problem is that it takes a hell of a lot longer to effectively debunk BS “truisms” like that, at least if you’re trying to be halfway civil about it, than it does to crap them out. That’s the point, and that’s why Shapiro goes to that well almost exclusively. His go-to move is the Gish Gallop, along with strawmen,…

If Ben Shapiro wasn’t allowed to use fallacious debate tactics, he’d have nothing to say. Cenk should have known better than to debate someone like Shapiro that argues exclusively in bad faith.

So take a moment and try to watch that clip for as long as possible. It’s a classic example of a Shapiro “argument.”
