We were at work and a guy I work with brought up the University Shooting in Montreal. He and I go back and forth on a lot of things, and one of the things that is common to our discussions is he believes everything he sees on TV, whereas I am quick to point out inaccuracies in news reports and politics. This frustrates him sometimes and he has gone so far as to imply that I am some sort of consiracy nut.

So anyway, he brings up the story of the Montreal shooting, and said something along the lines of: "you still think people should have assault weapons?" . . . here was my response:

In my best tin-foil hat voice: :cuss: "The media obviously made that up, it couldn't possibly have happened."

:confused: "What do you mean?"

Me: :cool: "Well, guns are banned on universities in Canada, so the alleged shooter obviously would never hav brought a gun onto the campus. therefore, this story is fake."

Him: :eek: "That is so stupid! A guy who is planning on going on a shooting rampage isn't worried about following the laws about where he can go with his gun!"

Me: :cool: "Makes you wonder why they have those laws in the first place, doesn't it?" :neener:

Him: :scrutiny:

At that point he just turned around and went back to work. Maybe I made him think.
 
His falacy right back in his face!

That sounded kinda dirty :scrutiny:



Problem with antis is that they have logic proof minds ... sure you've scored your points here, but after a couple of hours logic and truth wear off and he's left with his fear (which is what drives most antis).
 
You heartless SOB!

Using fact, logic and his own reasoning against him. Have you NO SHAME? :evil:
 
Beautiful setup ! You led him around such that he proved your underlying point. He can't even argue, because he'd be arguing with his own deduction.
