It was a straw man argument; no one has used those words (and you put them in quotes first, not me). I’ll give you one, as being close; the rest are putting words in others mouths, which gunners do a lot of here.
I think we have to agree to disagree; in my mind "no guns" and "get rid of guns" CAN be paraphrased as "just get rid of ALL the guns"...but outside of that, you seem to have lost focus on my original point - that having the extreme views out there dilutes the more mainstream message; I suspect that you and I may actually agree on more points than disagree, but I can't tell what, specifically, you're advocating for. I assume something that's been done in Australia - but have you ever gone into any level of detail what, exactly, that means?
