I didn't have to explain that it's necessary to fear guns, I never held the thought that guns or any other killing machines, or any other things should be feared, it's an irrational fear, a fear of things that have no volition. You, on the other hand, brought up the subject by Rhetorically asking why people need to listen to the media to validate their fear of killing machines. (things should be feared). If you can explain what you meant by that statement or what the POINT of it was I'm all ears, until then your a strawman planting fellow accusing me of pointing out that you indeed didn't resolve the logic of "Why should people needed media influence to fear killing machines" which puts up the strawman after opening the discussion directly on THINGS by themselves "to fear killing machines" that a Man with an ax is scarry regardless if you had a previous experience or not, which has nothing to do with why people should fear killing machines or why they shouldn't, well it has nothing to do with fearing killing machiens but with fearing people, so in other words why make a point about people not needing the media to tell them to fear killing machines.
You went even further in this by attaching the imbecilic opinion that Glorifying something means the complete opposite of the definition for that verb, which is not MY opinion because I have no problem recognizing what glorifying is and what it isn't or confusing that with an opinion, however valid or substantial.
"You, on the other hand, brought up the subject by Rhetorically asking why people need to listen to the media to validate their fear of killing machines." I didn't say anything about validating fears, I'm saying those fears would exist without the media. Your side is the one that first brought up media. "...opening the discussion directly on THINGS by themselves." Yes ,this is what you keep accusing me of, but I am not doing, that is a stawman. I'm not talking about the things by themselves because no gun has ever committed a shooting. Yes, this is about a fear of people, and a gun amplifies that, so both are the problem here. "You went even further in this by attaching the imbecilic opinion that Glorifying something means the complete opposite of the definition..." Another strawman, I would call guns being used to kill bad guys regularly in media glorification. Ever seen the Myth Busters? I liked that show, but their glorification of guns is what I'm talking about. I don't want to ban guns, I just think our country should have about as many shootings as other developed countries with guns. Is that not unreasonable right?
Look this has been fun, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere so long as you aren't taking into account what I'm saying, and keep re-defining what my argument is to derail the point. I apologize if my wording has been unclear at some point, but you know full well what I'm getting at, and that's not what you're addressing. This is intellectually dishonest of you, but aside form that I appreciate your civility in this discussion, and would be happy to continue it should you actually address what I'm saying.
